Proposal
T1 Large evergreen conifer - Fell to ground level. To open up the garden and allow the remaining planting to be managed more effectively. T2 Large Beech - Crown reduction of 15-20% T3 Large Acer - Crown reduction of 20% The garden has become increasingly enclosed, dense and shaded following approximately 27 years without significant tree management.
