Proposal
T1 in question as shown in sketch plan: Beech tree (Fagus Sylvatica) Reduce whole crown by approximately 30%. approximately. 3 meters off the top 2.5 meters off the Northern side. 2 meters off the eastern side. 3 meters off the western side. 2 meters off the southern side. With a 30% thin throughout the crown. This specification is to avoid any future snapped limbs that may occur, taking weight out of this crown will secure a safer tree. Plus it will create more light for the surrounding shrubs and trees.
