Proposal

G1 (2 x Field Maple, 3 x Hawthorn, 3 x Oak) Crown reduction of up to 2 metres overall branch length on the elevation towards the tennis courts - Reason: Work required to prevent trees encroaching over tennis courts by creating approximately a 2m clearance. All pruning cuts to be made to suitable growing points to leave a naturally flowing line; G1 (8 x Hornbeam) - Crown reduction of up to 2 metres overall branch length on the elevation towards the tennis courts - Reason: Work required to prevent trees encroaching over tennis courts by creating approximately a 2m clearance. To reduce the trees in height by 3.5 metres limiting pruning cut diameter as much as possible to allow more afternoon/ evening sun to reach the courts. All pruning cuts to be made to suitable growing points to leave a naturally flowing line; T5 - Acer - Crown reduction of approx. 2-2.5m overall branch length (back to previous pruning points) - Reason: To maintain the tree at an appropriate size next to junior tennis courts. All pruning cuts to be made to suitable growing points to leave a naturally flowing line; T3 - Ash - Fell to ground level - Reason: The tree appears to have been in steady decline and has not responded well to previous deadwood removal.
