  T1-Ash - Reduce the lateral branches back by 2-2.5m. Reason -This tree has a rough lateral branch to trunk length of 6m and overhangs the neighbouring property. By making these smaller diameter cuts, this would reduce the branch weight over the property while bringing the tree into better overall balance. The opposite side of the tree grows over a dark drive entrance, so the tree has searched for light over the property.
