Proposal

Carry out sensitive pruning/thinning to the canopy by pruning up to 1-1.5m (only where necessary) to 1 x Cedar of Lebanon (mature) (N1) to reduce weight on overburdened limbs, prune diseased limbs and cut-back/down diseased Holly tree below to 1 x Ash (34) by 6-8m, cut down to ground, remove stump and replant to 1 x Cherry (46) as tree in terminal decline, trunk is hollow and now dropping limbs and reduce the height of 2 x Yew trees (47) by approximately 5m and width by 1-2m and prune back lateral growth encroaching on the wall as growth over the years has resulted in encroachment on Hampden House and the adjacent wall is now suffering from the effects of damp and mildew
