Proposal

NB a sketch plan is also required for this tree as it is TPOd. 1 x False acacia: crown reduce upright stem back to previous, most recent reductio points. Crown reduce lateral stem growing southwards by up to 1m below the previous reduction points to balance and shape, pruning back to suitable growth points.
