  T1 Prunus - reduce by 1.5 metres and crown thin, primarily to prevent damage to roof located next to the tree. T2 Staghorn Sumac - coppice, work required due to tree causing damage to nearby roof, reduction would not achieve much, therefore a coppice would be a far better option. T3 Magnolia - crown thin with slight reduction up to 1 metre where necessary.
