Arnolds Joan Shorts Lane Burnham Market King's Lynn Norfolk PE31 8HJ
T1 - Silver Birch - Fell - Tree is causing shading issues with neighbours decking and overhang to neighbours garden, there is also some concern over future root damage to neighbours wall. As the aforementioned species does not react well to heavy pruning and it would unlikely resolve any issues removal is recommended. T2 - Maple - 1.5m maximum full crown reduction with a light thin of internal canopy - 2 x Maple growing as a singular crown, approx. 20m tall with a radius crown spread of 8-9m from each main stem. Reduction is to maintain current size and shape, with a light thin allowing some mottled light through to lawn. T3 - Sycamore - Fell - Growing very close to boundary wall and over dwelling, also causing interference with overhead cables. Removal is recommended to avoid future issues. T4 - Hawthorn - Fell - Still a small and young tree. Removal allows for easier parking and passing on a narrow road.
