Proposal

T1 to T4 - Mature Lime(Tilia) - re-pollarding by approx. 2m back to previous pollard point in accordance with British standards. Reason - Pollards have not been managed for a number of years and are becoming in issue. They are now pressing up against the walls and windows of the building/classrooms and encroaching on the road space etc.
