  REAR: ONE Ash (T1)(ht:18m, rs:17m): CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 4m from 18m to 14m, REDUCE RADIUS by 7m from 17m to 10m, South Eastern laterals are particularly weight loaded so a slightly heavier reduction is required; Reason: Reduction to shape canopy, pruning to suitable points and maintaining natural aesthetic, where possible; other lower limbs are very weight loaded and will be prone to failure; there is also major die back in the crown and two lower laterals hence the reason for the heavy reduction; the pruning will bring the canopy back to healthy growth and reduce the risk of future incidents for neighboring properties; the tree will tolerate the pruning as specified above. Informative A: The sensitive management of the tree for urban greening benefits is greatly appreciated.
