T2 - Dawn Redwood - crown lift to 3 metres. T3 - Ash - crown lift to 3 metres and reduce overhang to neighbour by 1 metre. T4 - Weeping Willow - crown reduce by 25% to reduce height and spread by around 2 metres and to remove overhang to pavement and road. T5 - Whitebeam - fell to ground level. T6 - Ash - crown lift to 4 metres. All of the above works are in the interests of maintaining these trees in good condition but at a size and form that fits with the garden.
