Proposal

T1: Lilac - Prune out the deadwood and shape the remaining crown to improve appearance and maintain a balanced form. T2: Hawthorn - Reduce the crown to match the height of the neighbouring hedge line and reshape to maintain a neat and uniform appearance. T3: Hawthorn - Remove to as close to ground level as possible and grind the stump to a maximum depth of 150mm below ground level. T4: Plum - Carry out a crown thin to reduce density within the canopy and laterally reduce selected branches to manage the overall crown spread whilst retaining the natural shape.
