    T1. Sycamore - crown reduce and reshape by 4-5m. Crown lift to 5m and sever ivy at base. Pruning may include the removal of 'soft growth' on the outer /lower parts of the tree crown to reduce the overall size and spread of the tree e.g. shortening or removal of secondary branches under 50/75mm diameter, not main structural branches over this size. Where appropriate this may include additional/selective branch reductions and reshaping within the specified reduction to maintain the trees natural form and symmetry (previous pruning points). Pruning work must be done evenly all round to maintain the tree's natural form and symmetry. Remove visible deadwood as required, pruning back to sound wood or appropriate branch junction/s (amended description)
