    Pollarded mature Syacamore. (see sketch plan). Work is required to side trim overgrown branches up to approximately 2 m to improve stability and ensure continued visual amenity. As the tree has been pollarded cyclical maintenance is considered to be good arboricultural practice. Additionally the work will improve the ventilation of the area and reduce rotting of the wooden decks below.
