Proposal
T1 - Lime - red: Clear lateral branches from neighbouring lamppost by 1.5mt - tree lateral spread at 4mt, to be reduced to 2.5mt. T2 - Hornbeam - Orange: Crown reduction by 2mt, tree height at 10mt to be reduced to 8mt - tree width at 6mt, to be reduced to 6mt. T3 - Hornbeam - Green: Crown reduction by 3mt, tree height at 10mt to be reduced to 7mt - tree width at 10mt, to be reduced to 6mt. Justification: The trees are now in direct conflict with street furniture, the pitched roof of the period church and the neighbouring residential property. T3 exhibits phototropic growth, resulting in an unbalanced crown spread. The greater reduction specified for this tree is intended to address this imbalance and provide clearance from the adjoining properties. Data via plota.co.uk
