Proposal

Willow (T1) - Pollard tree at main forks - because: tree has previously been heavily pruned/topped and now has a poor structure; to make future management easier and bring the tree under appropriate management in line with good arboricultural practice; to provide land owner with screening at the appropriate level. Hornbeam (T2) - Pollard - because: tree is too close to willow and has subsequently formed a poor structure. Beech (T3) - Prune to ensure a better shape and structure - because: tree has previously been pruned poorly and land owner would like to retain this tree for the time being to provide screen. Beech (T4) - Prune to ensure a better shape and structure - because: tree has previously been pruned poorly and land owner would like to retain this tree for the time being to provide screen.
