Proposal

T1 - Maple - Reduce crown to previous reduction points, leaving suitable growth. The tree is approx 8m tall with the proposal of reducing 3m of new growth (previous reduction points) retaining the tree approx 5m tall. Reasons: This tree was previously pruned in 2021 by myself, after inspecting the tree on a recent quotation for a planting project. I suggested that the Maple will cast to much shade where the proposed hedging and Ornamental trees to be planted. where the tree is located its unseen from the public eye. we are looking to benefit the visual amenity of the tree.
