Proposal

Works to trees subject to a Tree Preservation Order for Spruce (T1) - prune to maintain a 3 metre clearance from Spinney Cottage. Remove three lowest branches by target pruning them back to the main stem. Sycamore (T2) - re-coppice to previous coppice point. Sycamore (T3) - prune to maintain a 3 metre clearance from Spinney Cottage. Remove two lowest branches by target pruning them back to secondary growth unions. Elder (T4) - coppice the tree as a regenerative management approach. Tree is heavily laden in ivy and likely to collapse if left to grow. This method ensures optimal clearance from properties and simplifies future maintenance.
