  Oak (T1) Remove one lateral limb overhanging the crown of the adjacent walnut tree and crown thin 10%. removing the limb is to stop any interference between the oak and the walnut as the oak has grown larger and the walnut has compensated for this by growing very one sided. The crown thin is to reduce the crown density and allow more light and air through to the centre of the crown. Walnut (T2) Reduce lowest large over extended lateral stems by up to 2 Metre. Due to the oak shading the walnut it has grown very one sided and we are concerned about the limbs breaking due to being over extended and would like to reduce these back to reduce the risk of the limbs collapsing due to a hazard beam issue. Holly (T3) Fell to Ground level. The Holly is a poor specimen having previously been shaded by a neighbouring Hazel tree that was competing with the holly for resources. Now with ivy completely enveloping the trunk the owners would like it to be removed.
