Proposal
T4 - Silver birch (labelled T1 on plan) - Selective Crown reduction of overextended lateral limbs by 1.5 metres. Reason - to recreate shape lost due to previous bad pruning techniques and to also reduce sail effect on the upper canopy as there is a visible rot pocket at crown break. Reducing exposed over extended laterals limbs, to prevent further limb failure and to reduce the encroachment towards the garage and property. T3 - Silver birch (labelled T2 on plan) - Crown reduction of 1.5 metres on lateral limbs, to adequate and sufficient growth points. Height reduced by 2 metres, back to historic cut points. Crown raise to 2.5 metres. Reason - to stop the encroachment over pavement and neighbouring driveway, to maintain trees current size and amenity value and allow light into front windows of the property. Data via plota.co.uk
