Gp 1 - Lawson & Leyland Cypress T2 - Maple Gp 1 Lawson & Leyland Cypress. These trees make up a unified large hedge screen. They have been periodically reduced to a lesser height and spread. They are now quite outgrown and impose over the neighbours property and are out of scale/too large for their position. The trees are to be reduced in height by around 50% and the side growth clipped back to maintain them as a managed hedge or screen. T2 - Maple - this tree is clearly in poor health with deadwood and die back over the whole crown. It is to be removed. Remarks:
