T1 - Holly - Reduce in height by 3m. This tree has grown over the footpath and now has a heavy lean towards adjacent buildings, recently removed steel railings and newly erected wooden fence have highlighted the fact this tree needs attention T2 - Ash - Re-pollard to previous pollard points. Previously pollarded tree, that has extended growth, potential for weak attachment points and risk from small branched falling on to car park area and adjacent property. Re-pollarding would be deemed reasonable maintenance.
