  G1 mainly Sycamore - Crown lift to give 4m clearance from the ground. Draw back on the north, east and west aspects by 1m on the lower and mid parts of the canopy.

  T3) To balance and aid stability for longer retention of the tree. Reduce leaning Beech tree in height by approximately 5m maximum leaving 10m overall height, and radial spread over the south side to reduce weight load by 4m max, leaving 3m. (difficult to gauge spread given the severity of the lean and limited access to the filed side) The root flare has lifted and the ground is visibly sinking behind it. Disregard T1 & T2 on the photos, these were part of RWC's original visit but not part of this application.
