Proposal
rear right T1 London Plane x 1 (Platanus x hispanica) This extra-large plane tree is growing partly over a glass office ceiling. It has been cut back previously, but now requires a harder reduction back towards the edge of the glass. There are cavities on the limb over the roof which shows signs of adaptive growth Suggested work:- Reduce the growth over the glass ceiling back 3-4m to reduce weight. This includes removing some branches roughly 100mm thick. These will be lowered using advanced rigging techniques.- Inspect the upper canopy for massaria, remove where necessary. Reduce remaining crown back to previous reduction points with lots of furnishing growth/ thin remaining points rear left T2 Turkey Oak x 1 (Quercus cerris) This large Turkish oak is being suppressed by the neighbouring plane tree, as such the vast majority of the growth is over the courtyard. Suggested work Weight reduce the tips by reducing the lateral growth by 1.5-2m. Remove epicormic growth
