Proposal
T1 oak to reduce from approximately 13m height to 11.5m and spread from 10m to 8.5m. Remove epicormic growth from trunk. The tree dominates a small garden whist oversailing 3 other properties and a public footpath. Managing the size of the tree will allow all neighbours more light and space to their gardens.
