Proposal
Front - T1 Lime x 1 (Tilia spp) This 14m lime tree located at the front of the property has previously been pollarded and its cyclical prune is now due. Suggested work: reduce back to previous, equating to a reduction of 1.5-2m all round (re-pollard) Front - T2 Privet x 1 (Ligustrum lucidum) This privet hedge has grown unruly and out of shape. Suggested work: reduce height by 2.5m and trim lateral growth by 1-1.5m to create more compact hedge shape.
