Proposal
Yew Tree - Reduce the overall height of the yew tree by up to 2 metres, from approximately 6 metres to approximately 4 metres. Reduce the lateral crown spread by up to 2 metres on the sides, measured from the existing outer crown edges. Carry out pruning cuts to suitable growth points where possible, retaining the natural shape of the tree and avoiding unnecessary damage to the remaining crown.
