Proposal

T1 and T2 Sycamore- Crown reduction of 3 metres. Reason for works - Both trees have significant stem decay caused by radiated heat damage resulting from a fire 10+ years ago. They form 1 canopy so it is recommended a crown reduction of both to reduce risk of stress to the 2 large cavities which is evident on T2 and to a lesser extent T1.
