Proposal

T001 - Beech - Reduce crown height by 3m and lateral spread by 2-3m depending on available pruning points (approximately 15–20% of the live crown volume), reducing branch lengths throughout the crown to appropriate secondary growth points whilst retaining the tree's natural form and amenity value. Remove major deadwood (>50mm diameter) throughout the crown.
