T1 Sycamore - reduce heavily by 4m all round the crown. Reason: Due to the tree being large for the size of the gardens and with adjacent neighbouring buildings, the tree has an included bark included bark twin stem union at the base with a old wound callusing over roughly 6ft up. There has also been a large limb snapped out in the past lower in the crown. This work is to preserve the tree for the future and preventing it from becoming a danger in the future.
