Proposal
Red Oak (T8) - Crown spread of the tree to be reduced by a maximum of 3-4m to the north and south, and its height by the same amount, to reduce the probability of branch or stem failure over the school play area and/or Clare Avenue. This is to be achieved by reducing long, lateral branches and leading stems, back to suitable secondary branch unions. The appended photographs show an approximate reduction line
