  T1 Hazel - Selectively re-coppice the larger diameter stems back to the coppice stool. Re-pollard the remaining smaller diameter stems back to the previous pollard points to retain the existing management regime. T2 Walnut - Reduce the lateral spread encroaching towards both neighbouring gardens by up to 1.5m, pruning back to suitable growth points to reduce end weight and improve crown balance. The purpose of these works is to contain the crown within the current setting, which leans towards the neighbouring properties from ground level and is supported by a tight primary union at approximately 1.25m above ground level. Final pruning cuts shall not exceed 60mm in diameter. T3 Hazel - Fell the three ivy-clad stems to ground level. Additionally, coppice the smaller stems located in front of the larger stems to ground level. T4 Fastigiate Apple - Reduce the height of the crown by approximately 1.0–1.25m to a finished height between the window sill and the top of the upper window. Additionally, selectively reduce extended lateral branches back to suitable inward-facing growth points and thin dense areas of the inner crown to improve crown structure. The purpose of these works is to maintain an appropriate size and form within the current domestic setting.
