Proposal
T1. Platanus x hispanica London plane Reduce the crown by up to 4m on the N (for the longest branches) and about 2m on the NE, with about 2m reduction elsewhere to balance the crown so far as feasible while reducing the new impact of wind on the tree when the plane T2 has been removed. To reduce the impact of new wind loading on this tree in the absence of the plane T2. T2. Platanus x hispanica London plane Dismantle tree and grind out the roots to about 300mm below existing ground level. Replace with a London plane of a minimum 12-14cm girth at 1.5m above ground level. To prevent injury and damage, while sustaining future landscape value, canopy cover and other environmental benefits. T3. Platanus x hispanica London plane Selectively reduce and lift branches oversailing the highway, especially ESE, to their last reduction points over the road to provide about 4m vertical clearance underneath. To prevent damage to the tree and high vehicles. T14. Malus ?Golden Hornet? or similar cv. crab apple Selectively reduce and lift branches oversailing the highway, especially ESE, to their last reduction points over the road to provide about 4m vertical clearance underneath. Aesthetics and long-term canopy maintenance. T35. Malus cultivar crab apple Fell, grind out stump to about 300mm below current ground level and replace with a Koelreuteria paniculata (golden rain tree) of minimum 10-12cm girth at 1.5m above ground level. To prevent increasing risk of injury, damage and nuisance while enhancing the garden. Data via plota.co.uk
