    Sycamores T1 and T3, reduce both crowns by 25% on T1 and T3 and to lift the crowns on both to a height of 9m above the ground level. This is to reduce the amount of falling branches and leaves that keep falling into the garden, so the children cannot make use of the rear of the garden until this has been carried out. This will also increase the amount of natural light received into the garden by removing the current excessive shading, caused by the leafy branches. Any limbs with a diameter greater than 120mm will remain intact, to enable future regrowth. T2 has previously been felled.
