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.

Repollard to uppermost pollard heads at approximately 6.5m above ground level. Pollard heads not to be damaged, but all branches above pollard heads to be removed.

T1. Oak - Reduce height and radial spread by 2m. Current height 16m leaving at 14m. Current radius 9m leaving at 7m. The tree recent hard a large limb failure which subsequently hit and ripped out a further two large limbs which fell into the garage and on top of the adjacent garage. The loss of these branches has left a large hole in the canopy. It looks as though the tree has recently been crown thinned.
