Proposal

T1 Lawson cypress Fell as close to ground level as possible and remove all arisings. Reason for works - top looking sparse compared to the rest of the tree and over crowded I area. This will allow Holly more space. T2 Holly Crown Reduction - Reducing the height of the tree by up to 3 metres and trim sides in by 1 metre to suit. Reason for works - top of the tree is very sparse so reducing height down. Works due to give the more light to the area and Holly tree and because the Lawson Cypress seems to be struggling Data via plota.co.uk
