Proposal
T1 - Himalayan Birch - Twin-stemmed Himalayan Birch with co-dominant form. Reduce the crown by approximately 1-1.5 meters, pruning back to suitable growth points. T2 - Liquidambar - Reduce by 1-1.5m towards established previous pruning points. Prune back the regrowth and selectively thin/remove congested regrowth arising from the old pruning points to leave balanced crowns. T3 - Sorbus - Reduce by 1-1.5m towards established previous pruning points. Prune back the regrowth and selectively thin/remove congested regrowth arising from the old pruning points to leave balanced crowns. T4 - Liquidambar - Reduce by 1-1.5m towards established previous pruning points. Prune back the regrowth and selectively thin/remove congested regrowth arising from the old pruning points to leave balanced crowns. G1 - Himalayan Birch group - Group of 3 juvenile Birches sharing a canopy. Remove one identified stem extending over the swimming pool. Reduce the remaining crowns by approximately 1-1.5 meters, pruning to suitable growth points to create a balanced and even form and maintain the trees at an appropriate size for their location. T6 - Acer - Reduce by 0.5 meters T7 - Hornbeam - Re-pollard back to its established previous pollard points, removing the regrowth produced since the last pruning cycle. T8, T9, T10 - Reduce the row of Hazels by approximately 1-1.5 meters, with selective thinning where required. Reduce lateral growth to provide improved clearance from the neighbouring property and bring the overall height down to approximately second-story level.
