T5 - Sycamore - Remove low branch growing towards the building for long term clearance. T6 - Cherry - Crown reduce and reshape by 2-3m to give clearance from building and lessen the windsail of the tree due to low decay/cavity on the stem. T7 - Lime - Remove major deadwood, is located in a high use public area. T8 - Lime - Fell as close to ground level as practical. Low decay present at twin stemmed union on lower stem.
