Proposal
T1 Hawthorn - Remove to ground level, T2 Sycamore - Remove to ground level. T3 Ash - pruning to leave a 2m clearance from the utility cable. One lower branch (approximately 4m in length) to be pruned back to the main stem to avoid interference with the hedge. T4 Oak - selected lateral pruning of growth overhanging the border by the neighbouring property only by up to 3.5m to prevent encroachment. No full crown reduction. T5 Prunus - Remove to ground level. T6 Silver Birch - Remove to ground level. T7 Willow - Weeping willow to be re-pollarded back to established pollard heads (up to 4m of re-growth to be removed). T8 Pear - Pear to be reduced in height by 2m and by 1m in width. Remove vigorous vertical growth and reshape to improve form, fruit production, and ease of picking. T9 Oak - crown lift to provide approximately 5.2m of clearance over the road and path only. No full crown reduction, and pruning kept as minimal as possible to avoid spoiling the form of the tree. T10 Parrotia - Persian ironwood to have a new pollard framework established up to 2m below the existing pollard points. Data via plota.co.uk
