  T1 - Holm Oak 1) Lowest primary branch, with predominantly lateral extension growing towards the house (refer to photo) - Prune back the lateral extension by up to 15%, cut size on tertiary growth up to 75mm. Reasons: To improve light conditions within the house, whilst carrying out the minimum of pruning, and preventing a negative impact on the vigour and health of the tree. 2) Twin forked lateral branches (refer to photo) growing over the neighbours property: Prune back the lateral extension by up to 15%, or the previous growth points (whichever is a lesser amount to remove), cut size on tertiary growth up to 75mm. Reasons: To improve light conditions to the neighbours garden, whilst carrying out the minimum of pruning, and preventing a negative impact on the vigour and health of the tree. This branch has been pruned within the last 5 years, so the growth removed will be fairly minimal. 3) Lowest primary branch growing over the bowling club (refer to photo): Crown lift by 1 metre, cut size on tertiary growth up to 75mm. Reasons: To increase light access to the garden through the bottom of the canopy.

  T1 - Holm Oak tree: Prune back the lateral growth only that overhangs the rear garden of No 2 Culverland close. This will be between 0.75-1 metre in length, and will consist of re-growth only (from the pruning cuts made the last time the tree was pruned) .Diameter cuts no greater than 3 cm. - The lowest branch arising from the main stem at approx. 5 metres above ground level, (and is closest to the top of the bowling club roof), will be pruned back to the previous growth points. this will remove again 0.75-1metre of regrowth, with 3 cm diameter cuts. Reasons: The Neighbours at No. 2 would like to maximise the light entering their back garden. Removing any more than the re-growth will severely affect the form, health and vigour of the tree. So I have recommended here to prune back to the growth points, minimising the cut size, and so decreasing the risk of infection.
