Proposal
Spoken to our tree surgeon and good to go on the below. To ensure that the proposed works can be properly assessed and carried out in accordance with good arboricultural practice, I would suggest revising the specification to a lateral crown reduction of up to 2 metres on both Oak trees identified within the application, with all pruning cuts being taken back to suitable growth points in accordance with BS 3998:2010.
