This mature has not been managed for over 10 year. While it is in good health it has become very tall with a prominent sail over both the owners property and the adjacent property, the owner of which has complained about falling branches. This tree is also causing excessive shading for the property behind the owners house and. The neighbors have complained about this for years apparently.) T2 Sycamore to crown reduce by 3m (to previous pruning points), a 15% thin and deadwood. (To improve light below and reduce weight and sail. This mature self seeded Sycamore has not been managed for over 10 years. While it appears in good health it is exibiting decay at the bifocation at the base as well as bark inclusion. It has become very tall with a prominent sail over both the owners property and the adjacent property, the owner of which has complained about falling branches. This tree is also causing excessive shading for the property behind the owners house and is also now touching the roof of both propertys!. The neighbors have complained about this for years apparently.)

    T1 - This tree is an asset to the local community and the surrounding area. It recently shed a large branch. This branch landed across the shared driveway and Infront of No.21s front door. Luckily both cars were out and no one was hurt. The tree itself is over extended and has a very large sail. From the ground it is evident that there are pockets of rot in the upper crown. The tree also has branches extending over both houses and is actually touching the roof of number 19. Request a 3.5m reduction in height and a 1.5m reduction of the sides, to growth points where possible. Removal of deadwood and any hazard beams. The aim of the works will be to reduce the risk of failure and reduce sail.

    T1 - Cherry tree - Reduce crown by about 3m, or, if this is not possible reduce the crown where it overhangs 67 Hemingford Road by a similar amount. Reason - This would reduce the overshadowing of the roof of 67 Hemingford Road and also prevent branches impinging on telephone wires connecting to 65 Hemingford Road.
