Proposal

T1- Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) located in a Northerly direction, cut back by approximately 3m of some of the growth that overhangs the house, as it is encroaching. The over extended laterals grow in a southerly direction. The tree is currently approximately 9.5m high and 5m wide and will be the same height and 3m wide following the proposed works as it is selective limbs that will not impact the rest of the canopy (Abbotswood Conservation Area).
