T2 - London Plane - reduce lateral crown spread (not height) of tree by approximately 4m around perimeter of canopy to reduce extension of crown over Park Road and playing fields, (crown spread is becoming excessive for its situation). T3 - Holm Oak - remove (poor specimen) and other better specimen nearby. Remarks:
