Proposal

T1 - Oak - Crown lift to give an additional 1.5m clearance (resulting in approximately 3.5m clearance above ground level at the base of the tree) due to low branches resting on residential property boundary fences. A 1.5m crown reduction (height and spread) is also recommended but this is less urgent and will only be completed if budgets allow for the work.
