Tree tag T003: Horse chestnut- Reduce the upper third of the crown on the southern aspect by up to 2 m to appropriate pruning points to reduce loading over the adjacent building. Reduce the two lowest limbs on the northern aspect by up to 2 m to appropriate pruning points to reduce loading over the adjacent footpath. Tree tag T004: Horse chestnut- Reduce the south-eastern limb by up to 2 m to appropriate pruning points to reduce loading on the identified defect.
