Proposal

Beech - Reduce the top 2 branches back in line with the remaining canopy and crown. Reason: The tree is overhanging the garage and is a potential hazard. The tree is currently unbalanced in growth towards the garage, and the resulting pruning will also balance the tree. Data via plota.co.uk
