Rear garden: T1 - American Elm Crown reduce and shape by approx. 3m Remove low limbs overhanging neighbouring garden to lift lower canopy by approx. 2m Crown lift on opposing garden at no.33 to balance lower canopy. Remove all Ivy to ground level Reason for work: The crown lacks the vitality commonly expected from an Elm of this size. The broad crown heavily overhangs the neighbouring garden to the south at no. 31. The tree owner is concerned about the safety of the tree. She would prefer to keep the tree but is aware she has a duty of care for her neighbours' safety and the protection of their property. To alleviate these concerns and also improve excessive shade to adjacent gardens, the above work has been proposed.
