Proposal

TPO 145; T76: Sycamore - reduce height by 2-3m due to whole tree failure, extensive basal cavity on W side.

T77: Sweet Chestnut - pollard to main union at 7m from ground level, fracture on lower co-dominate stem at 8m from ground level, secondary delamination causing twisting and stem droop. T81: Sycamore – crown height reduction of up to 3m, due to large decay, risk of failure into parking area.
