T1 Weeping Willow Neighbour's tree over hanging boundary of rear garden. Prune all overhanging branches back to boundary line. This will require the removal of approximately 1-1.5 metres of material to achieve. However in order to retain a balanced and aesthetically pleasing shape to the tree it is suggested branches are pruned back to suitable growth points where possible or on smaller diameter branches with no suitable growth point to go back to the old pollard point, whilst retaining a balanced and flowing shape.

29 North Street Banbury OX16 3LH
A crab apple tree situated within the small front garden. The tree has become overgrown and disproportionately large for the confined garden area, with a dense crown extending close to the house and over the front garden. Its size and position make the garden difficult to maintain and reduce light to the front elevation and adjoining windows. The proposal is to remove the tree and stump and restore the front garden
