On the side facing the road a reduction of 1m maintaining the current shape of the tree. The branches of T1 are resting on roof of garage and house, potentially leading to the dislodging of roof tiles and consequent leaks. Branches are fouling the streetlight on Sydney Road and the telephone lines from the telegraph pole adjacent to house. T2 and T3 are fouling the telephone lines from the telegraph pole and the weight of the lower branches is resting on the telephone line to the house.
