Situated near the main entrance of the church these two trees from a combined canopy. They are becoming too large for the space. Reducing the crown would improve the balance between the tree and the church, contributing positively to the site's visual amenity. G3 Damsons. -Reduce removing 2-3m from heights and biased side. These Damsons are heavily biased towards the churchyard. If left much longer they could fall down and caused damage to people or property. We would like to relieve weight and spread to ensure they stay standing. Data via plota.co.uk
