Remove major deadwood. This is a large tree for the location adjacent to houses, branches are touching No 14 Leoprd Rise and they spread significantly over 2 Oaklands. There has been a large limb shed and is hanging in the crown. The shape if the outer canopy is somewhat unbalanced with some heavily extended lateral branches.

    The Gatehouse Battenhall Road Worcester WR5 2TD

    Two Holly trees to be felled to ground level, both trees are leaning towards the road and showing fairly poor vigour especially the one closest to the street lamp. The trees are furthermore affecting the radiation of light being emitted from the lamp post due to foliage being so close to street light effecting light for pavement and road users.
