Proposal
Tree "T1" in the attached diagram is a Horse Chestnut located at the southern edge of the rear garden. It appears to have been pollarded at about 2m in height but since then it has just been left to grow and is now very overgrown. As part of ongoing garden maintenance, my proposal is to use a combination of crown thinning (by 30%) and crown reduction (to a height of 6m and a spread 4.5m) to restore some shape to the tree.
