T1 - goat willow -whole crown reduction to 5m above ground level and back to the boundary fences this would be a reduction between a 1m-1.5 around the whole of T1 which would reduce the overall size and shape of the tree and back with the boundary of number 32. We are also proposing a crown lift to remove the lower branches in number 32 which are currently covering the garden in number 32 and touching the ground.we would like to lift the crown to around 2m off the ground.
