T11 Oak - Approx height 18m. Reduce by 3-4m. T12 Monterey Cypress - Approx height 18m. Reduce by 3-4m. T13 Red Cedar - Approx height 16m. Reduce by 2-3m. All three trees will have their crowns raised to 4 metres above ground level on their southern aspects and any major dead wood will be removed from the canopy. A group of sycamore trees is present in close proximity to plot 1 (Figure 4). It is unclear from the tree protection plan which tree number is affixed to this group of sycamore. One stem from the southeastern edge of the group is to be removed as it greatly overhangs the garden of plot 1. The remaining trees in the group trees are to have their lateral branches reduced by 2-3 metres where they extend southwards towards plot 1.
