    T17 Oak - Reduce the overall canopy by up to 2m back to relevant growth points to allow more light into the gardens and reduce the wind sail effect on the oak, necessary due to its significant wounds open to decay and exposed roots bordering the stream. Also remove significant deadwood and vertically hanging branches to avoid the risk of damage from them falling into neighbours' gardens and/or blocking the stream and contributing to an increased flood risk.
