  Works to two beech trees as follows: G1 x2 Beech - Crown lifting not exceeding a maximum height clearance of 3m above ground level. This may include the pruning of light, pendulous growth in the lower tree crown: e.g. shortening or removal of secondary branches under 50/75mm diameter, not main structural branches over this size. This must be done to uniform height all round to maintain the trees natural form and symmetry (TPO reference CLS-03) as amended on 24th April 2023.
