This may include removal of small diameter secondary branches only, e.g. under 75mm diameter, not main structural branches over this size. Crown reduction of mainly lateral growth in the lower tree crown to reduce the spread of the tree, in particular to reduce the extent of overhanging growth over the roofs of both properties. (no height reduction), pruning not to exceed 20% volume overall to maintain the natural form and symmetry of the tree. Removal of any visible deadwood or defective/damaged branches as required.
