Proposal

Proposed Works 1.

Branch Details: Provide a schedule identifying each branch proposed for reduction, including: Approximate diameter at cut point (not to exceed 75mm), Targeting: Focus on branches contributing most to the overhang while avoiding over-thinning. 3.

All pruning cuts to be made to appropriate growth points (i.e., lateral branches at least one-third the diameter of the parent). Works to be carried out by a qualified arborist
