T1 Sycamore Crown Reduction Specification: I propose a overall crown reduction of up to 2 to 3 metres in branch length (measured from the outer canopy tip back to suitable lateral growth points/four-inch stems). This equates to an approximate 15% to 20% proportional reduction of the overall crown volume. Targeted Limb Reduction Overextended branches overhanging the main lawn/garden area will be reduced by up to 3 metres to alleviate end-weight stress and mitigate the risk of branch failure. Deadwooding Full removal of all dead, diseased, and hollow branches will be carried out concurrently.

T1 - Sycamore - Crown reduce by 1 - 1.5 meters - No more than 30% overall. Only removing secondary growth. Tree is leaning heavily over neighboring property. To lighten sail area and reduce wind loading. Sever and remove any ivy obscuring the base of the stem to aid future inspections. T2 - Ash - Fell to ground level. Tree is suffering from ash die back - fell to ground level before further decline makes tree more difficult and costly to work on.
