    T1 - Beech T1 - Beech - thin crown by a maximum of 30% retaining an even density of foliage throughout a well spaced and balanced branch structure. Crown clean to remove deadwood, weak and crossing branches. Lift crown to a height of approximately 6m above ground level by removing branches back to source (less than 50mm diameter) where necessary and others by removing branch tips only. Prune back to suitable secondary branches to ensure a 2m clearance from Kimberley Cottage and a 1m clearance from overhead wires and the adjacent telegraph pole. Assess existing cable bracing to ensure tension is correct and replace where necessary. All pruning cuts will be made at branch junctions and sufficient live growth to maintain crown form will be left. Reason: To ensure continued and future compatibility with the site, surrounds and usage as the tree is very close to two buildings. Remarks:
