Proposal

REAR GARDEN @ NO.40 T1 Norway Maple (Acer platanoides) Reduce crown to the most recent previous reduction points, removing approx. 3-4m of new growth. Final height 15m and final overall spread 12m. Reason is that it is a large tree in a small garden and is beginning to dominate and block light.
