Proposal

Malus domestica TPO 367. The tree is planted approx 3m away from a residential building and in such a way that is casts shadow as the sun moves from the south to the west. Propose to reduce the tree crown by 2 metres all over to allow more sunlight to reach the windows of the residential building, and to carry out the work in the winter while the tree is dormant.
