T1 - Sycamore Due to its close proximity to the dwelling and conservatory, and its overhang of those habitable spaces, the scale, mass and foliage density of the tree creates an oppressive feeling of intrusion and encroachment to the residents. either a) Remove the five identified lower branches on the north, northeast and northwest aspect of the lower canopy at the points shown (mainly back to the main stem), with resulting pruning cuts not to exceed 200mm (annotated with red shading). The effect of these targeted branch removals is to simultaneously implement a crown lift and lateral reduction to the north, bringing the canopy away from the conservatory and roof structure while maintaining the prominence of the remaining canopy in views of the skyline from the north and south. or b) Remove
