Proposal

T1 Horse chestnut reduction of branches overhanging the neighbouring garden to a suitable point close to the boundary line, and reshaping of the canopy to rebalance the tree. The reason for the work is that the neighbour is unhappy with the tree blocking out the light and growing into their garden. Data via plota.co.uk
