Proposal
T1 Horse Chestnut: To be removed due to poor condition from previous heavy pruning/reduction - see invalid reply T2 Sycamore: Lower south easterly side branches x 3 located around 1m above main union to be pruned back to boundary/main stem. Prune higher branches by up to 2m to suitable unions, we are wanting to remove up to 2m from the upper canopy that grows towards the house and is becoming quite close. T3 Silver Birch: To be crown reduced to previous height by removing up to 1.5m in height and up to 1m on all sides to reshape. All other trees and shrubs along fence line to be pruned back to boundary to allow for better light levels and reduce sap soiling the garden. this is a mixture of overgrown holly and self-seeded deciduous species. preference is to remove full limbs back to main stem of any young or semi mature trees, as to be in line with BS3998 and not leave any unsightly pegs that will then cause excessive and un natural regrowth.

Old Pool Hall Main Street Pool In Wharfedale Otley LS21 1LH
Group of 10 Poplar: The tree closest to the streetlamp shows severe basal decay and significant limb dieback extending over the road. Due to the extent of decay and associated risk, this tree is recommended for removal. The remaining poplars are recommended to be re-pollarded to 3.2m hight, (see photo) in line with the previous lower pollard framework, in order to re-establish a manageable canopy and reduce future risk. Works will be undertaken using an access platform from within the garden perimeter.
