    TPO/114/2/I T1 – Silver Birch. It is proposed to reduce the crown by approximately 1–2 metres, pruning back towards the previous reduction points where suitable. Given the tree's previous management history and the amount of regrowth produced, we would also request consideration for the tree to be managed on a 3 year pruning cycle, reducing new growth back towards the established pruning framework as required.
