    Conduct a crown lift to each of the five Sweet Chestnut trees that lie on the north boundary of the property. The works will lift each canopy where necessary to a maximum of 5 meters from the stem base. This will require the reduction of the lowest limbs back to a suitable growth points (max 3-4m), but more generally, less (1-2m). We intend to remove failed limbs to nearest growth point or to source as appropriate and conduct a general deadwood procedure of all.
