Proposal

T1 Quercus Robur - Located in rear garden - 2-3 metre crown reduction and removal of deadwood to maintain the health and shape of the tree and allow light into property and surrounding properties. Tree is blocking light into the garden and house. The tree has increased in height and there are a lot of long thin regrowth on the top of the tree since 2018, to be removed so the tree is lower than the height of the house to allow light into the property. Estimated up to 5m on the top of the tree and estimated up to 3m reduction is required on the sides of the tree.
