Proposal
T1 - Pear - reduce height to previous points 12m in height. Reduce height by 2m from 12m to 10m, reduce lateral spread by 1m from 5m to 4m, cutting back to previous reduction points. A mature Pear standing towards the eastern end of the rear garden of 105b Breakspears Road. The tree has been reduced previously and has since put on regrowth from the earlier cuts. Works will retain the established reduction points to maintain the existing crown shape and form, keeping the tree in proportion to its position in the garden and reducing end-weight on the regrowth extending from the previous cuts. T2 - Pittosporum - reduce height 7m in height. Reduce height by 1m from 7m to 6m. Reduce spread by 1m from 4m to 3m. A Pittosporum standing immediately to the north west of the Pear in the rear garden. The specimen has grown beyond the space available to it and is increasingly shading the garden and the adjoining boundary. A light reduction is proposed to bring the crown back into proportion with its setting and to maintain the tree at a manageable size for the position it occupies. Data via plota.co.uk
