    T1 Bay Laurel: Re-pollard a mature Bay Laurel in the rear garden from 6.8m to 5m above ground level, reducing back to previous reduction points to retain the established pollard form and maintain proportion within the garden under a cyclical management licence issued by the Dulwich Estate. T2 Holly: Crown reduce and reshape a Holly tree in the front garden from 5m to 4m in height (in line with the adjacent lamp column) and reduce the side canopy by up to 0.5m back to the closest growth points to achieve an ovoid crown form and maintain proportion with its surroundings. T3 Lawson Cypress (Chilworth Silver): Fell a 3.5m high Lawson Cypress in the front garden to ground level, with stump grinding, to remove a declining specimen and facilitate replacement planting with a native pollinator species.
