T003 - Turkey Oak (Quercus cerris) Crown reduce by approximately 6m, reducing the overall height from approximately 31m to approximately 25m. Reduce the lateral crown proportionately to maintain a balanced natural form, retaining suitable growth points. T001 - Turkey Oak (Quercus cerris) - Fell to ground level due to extensive basal decay and hollowing, bark necrosis, major deadwood, significant canopy decline and poor physiological and structural condition. T002 - Turkey Oak (Quercus cerris) Reduce the tree from approximately 32m to a final height of approximately 12m. Retain the reduced stem and principal structure as a habitat feature, using veteranisation cuts where appropriate
