TPO S46: Cherry tree - Crown lift on the tree, removing lower branches growing laterally over the pavement up to a height of 4.5m . Some of which are within 2.4m above the pavement. This will restore balance to the lower part of the tree. Removal of dead wood throughout the tree, most of which is lower. The final cuts are shown on the photos with a yellow line. The final cut diameters will be less the 150mm. Reasons for the work are to restore balance to the lower part of the tree as there is a much fuller growth on the southern to western sides & to alleviate obscuring the streetlamp
