Crown Lifting: Remove lower branches to achieve a clearance of 3 meters above ground level, improving light penetration. Deadwood Removal: Eliminate all dead, dying, or diseased branches to promote tree health and safety. Justification for Works: The tree's current size is disproportionate to the garden space, leading to excessive shading of the property and neighboring gardens. Lower branches obstruct pathways, posing a hazard to residents and visitors. Deadwood presents a risk of falling branches, which could cause injury or property damage.
