T1 Holm Oak (Quercus ilex): H12/S9m. Reduce 3?4m (40%) to prior points; cut back from building for 2m clearance. Finish H8?9/S5?6m. Crown contacts building, risking render/gutter/roof abrasion, debris, damp and moss. Prevents nuisance while retaining dense rounded form, amenity/screening; species tolerates hard reduction. T3 Horse Chestnut: H15/S11m. Reduce 2?3m to prior points; remove epicormic growth to crown break. Finish H12?13/S8?9m. As T2: removes weak regrowth, restores structure and managed envelope. T4 Horse Chestnut: H14/S10m. Reduce 2?3m (30%); crown lift for 2m clearance above fence. Finish H11?12/S7?8m. Lower limbs contact/overhang fence, causing damage and restricting access. Lift removes conflict; reduction manages crown/end-weight while retaining health/form. T6 False Acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia): H15/S11m. Reduce 2?3m (30%); remove epicormic growth to crown break. Finish H12?13/S8?9m. Brittle species; weak regrowth increases sudden branch-failure risk. Reduces failure risk/wind loading and restores managed size. T7 Lime (Tilia ? europaea): H14/S10m. Reduce 2?3m (30%) to prior points; remove epicormic growth to crown break. Finish H11?12/S7?8m. Weak post-reduction/pollard regrowth is prone to shedding. Restores a manageable, sound crown consistent with past management. T9 Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus): H13/S9m. Reduce 2?3m (30%) to prior points; crown lift to 4m. Finish H10-11/S6-7m. Maintains managed size and pedestrian/vehicle clearance while retaining structure/amenity. T10 False Acacia: H14/S10m. Reduce 2?3m (30%); crown lift to 4m. Finish H11?12/S7?8m. Brittle wood/end-weight warrants reduction to lower failure risk; 4m lift provides access clearance.

T2 Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum): H16/S12m. Reduce 2?3m (30%) to prior points; remove all epicormic growth to crown break. Finish H13?14/S9?10m. Dense poorly attached regrowth is failure-prone. Restores structure, reduces end-weight and retains managed size and health/amenity. T5 Cherry Plum (Prunus cerasifera): H8/S6m. Reduce 2?3m (30%); remove epicormic growth to crown break. Finish H6/S4m. Dense regrowth has created a congested/poorly structured crown. Restores balance and reduces wind load/end-weight. T8 Black Mulberry (Morus nigra): H7 S8m. Sensitively reduce laterals 1?2m (20%) to clear lawn/roadside. Finish H6?7/S6?7m; clearance 2.5?3m. Minimal pruning retains characteristic low spreading gnarled form, amenity and heritage value. T13 London Plane (Platanus × hispanica): H18 S14m. Reduce 3 to 4m (30%); 2.5m clearance from buildings/walls; thin 20%; remove dead/rubbing/crossing branches. Finish H14 15/S9 10m. Crown encroaches on structures, risking wall/gutter/roof damage and restricting light. Reduction/clearance restores separation; thinning improves light/reduces wind load; removing defective growth reduces decay risk/improves structure. Retains vigour/significant amenity.
