  Anchor And Horseshoes, 194 London Road, Guildford, GU1 1XR

  G1 Yews. (x3no) Carry out crown reduction work of 3m on radial spread and 1.5m from height and upper canopy. Current height is approx 10m and would be 8.5m after pruning, width of all trees as one, approx 15m and would be 12m from marque to car park. Reason for work. Trees are encroaching on to main building and onto dining area marque, also, pigeon foul is a problem due to area being used for dining, debris drops everywhere and , tree nearest car park has a basal decay on tension side of stem. We wish to alleviate sail area and spread to minimise impact of these trees (TPO P1/201/399).
