T1 Horse Chestnut Tree - reduce canopy all round by 2M. The tree is in a state of decline and a large portion of the outer canopy is dying back. All dead wood requires removing. A small canopy reduction may help encourage and promote healthy growth. This work will help prolong the life of this veteran tree. T2 Self seeded Sycamore tree growing through the hedge row - Remove due to its proximity to the highway and its canopy overshadowing recently planted. T3 Self seeded sycamore tree - Remove due to not being suitable for its situation as numerous other trees have been planted on the property of significantly more amenity value.
