Proposal

T1 - Copper beech - Crown reduction by 2m, reduction in height and spread by 2m, crown raise from ground of 5m - Reason is to increase light levels underneath the tree and make the tree less overbearing in its location. The tree is touching the roof of the house. The tree is in a pruning cycle and the regrowth is beginning to become large and dense on the reduction points. (TPO132)
