Common Ash (Fraxinus Excelsior) tree growing next to and over the front drive to undergo a crown reduction by 30% (12.6 feet / 3.8 meters) along with a cut back of the limbs from over the drive to allow more light onto the garden and drive below. An Ivy ring will be cut from around the trunk. The limbs on the neighbours' side to be cut back towards the boundary, to leave the tree balanced. T2: The 40-foot-tall (approx.) Field Maple (Acer Campestre) tree growing over the front drive to undergo a crown reduction by 30% (12 feet / 3.6 meters) along with a cut back of the limbs from over the front drive.
