Approximate location: the centre of the postcode, not the exact property.

Proposal

T1 - Lime tree (tilia x europaea) approx 19m tall We plan to reduce the height by 7 metres and pollard the tree, retaining character and structural form of the tree. This is because it is in a highly residential area and I believe in this instance with this species, a pollard would be an effective way of retaining and managing a large tree in a small space. The final height of the tree would be approximately 12m tall.
