Proposal
Works to Trees with a TPO: T1 - Front garden. Large Cherry tree. Tree has had significant die back over the last 8 years. The branches are very elongated and the crown is very thin. Works includes to reduce very heavily to encourage new growth from a smaller structure 3m from crown break. T2 - Large Oak tree in Lettsom Gardens. This tree is causing significant shading to a large Magnolia tree below. Pollard lower lateral branch to 4m from trunk as this branch is very low growing over the access to Lettsom gardens and also causing significant shading to Magnolia tree below. T3 - Large Oak tree. Remove small lower lateral branch growing towards and almost touching neighbours shed at the rear of their garden. This will give more light to the Magnolia tree.
