I would like to reduce t1 by 50% and shown on pictures. this would be making pruning cuts of up to 25cm on vertical growth. this will remove risk of the tree failing and mean it can be kept for privacy and keep the aesthetics it provides the roadside.

Beech Lodge 5 Orchard Close Brixham TQ5 0LS

T1 European lime Tilia x europaea T1 is a mature lime tree that is growing within close proximity of the neighbouring building (within 1m) due to its size limbs are becoming heavily weighted and more likely to fail. Also large amounts of deadwood and debris regularly fall of the roof. T1 is growing very close to a mature beech tree and starting to affect the shape of the beech tree. I would like to reduce T1 by 20% in order to match the final height of the beech tree adjacent. this will keep the tree safe next to building by removing weight from weighted branches. and keep the aesthetics of the trees growing as one canopy. I would also like to remove the lowest primary overhanging the neighbours roof. T2 Beech Fagus sylvatica T2 is a mature beech tree growing within close proximity of beech lodge and the neighbouring property. I would like to reduce t2 by 30% and reshape as marked it pic 1. this will remove risk from heavily weighted branches failing, and reduce the amount the tree catches the wind in a built up area. reducing the risk of the tree while keeping the tree for the aesthetics of the road. this should be maintained every 5 years on a cyclical basis
