  T1 - Mature plum tree - requires felling due to the tree's heavy lean and evidence of movement causing damage to the adjacent retaining wall and surrounding foundations, removal is recommended before further structural damage or tree failure occurs T2 - Ash - Crown reduction from 18 metres to 9 metres. These works are intended to reduce the risk of limb failure, lessen the likelihood of contact with the adjacent barn roof and create a stronger, safer crown structure whilst retaining the tree's natural appearance.
