Proposal
T160 - Salix x sepulcralis (Weeping Willow) - Reduce regrowth by upto 5m to previous pollard points, to reduce loading on compromised base and aid tree longevity and retention. T46 - Salix caprea - Reduce height by 4m approximately, 1m above existing pruning points to encourage new growth - retrenchment pruning - intending to establish a smaller crown and aid tree longevity, whilst preventing failure onto footpath. T71 - Laburnum anagyroides - Reduce height by upto 6m by selective removal of limbs to lower unions, forming a new apex at around 7m, and branch length by approximately 2m to match new size, to reduce loading on compromised union and reduce likelihood of failure onto foot path.
