Proposal

T1 - Oak -Quercus petrea - Pendunculate oak located in the rear garden, that is causing excessive shade -remove deadwood (>30mm) from the crown of the tree. Crown lift the tree to crown break at 7-8m AGL, removing growth from the main stem and any other branches up to the first major union. Height reduced from 16m to 12-12.5 and radial spread from 7-7.5m to 4m. REDUCE the remaining crown of the tree by the selective removal of between 3.5-4 metres from the branch tips depending on the opportunities for cutting back to suitable live growth in each instance. Branches growing towards the properties will be pruned by the above or to give 3m clearance from the buildings, whichever is greater.
