Proposal

Sycamore - crown reduce by 2-2.5m south removing up to 3m and crown thin by 20%, the pruning will allow additional light to reach the garden and clear the residence. The adjacent tree east was pruned by us around 2 years ago, the aerial image shows the clearance we achieved. Epicormic growth 0-8m will also be removed. To re-shape the retained crown a 1m reduction (removing up to 2m) above the neighbouring garden, west will be completed - subject to TPO … Data via plota.co.uk
