Proposal

1. Indigenous walnut tree current canopy 13 meter diameter. Reduce canopy size to managable size of 7 metres and remove diseased and lower branches. 2. Red common Acer either fell and replace with a 10 year old sapling or reduce canopy size to 30m in height. and prune lower branches by lifting to 2.5m from the ground. This tree is 2 metres from a ground drop at the internal fence of 1 metre. Hence it is putting strain on the retaining ground and fence. Also competes with the two larger trees, walnut and copper beech. 3. Copper Beech tree, branches overhanging the road are to be lifted to a safe height to ensure that tractors and vehicles can safely pass, 3 meters from the road The canopy to be pruned to a safe height of 30 metres.
