Proposal

T1 False Acasia (Robinia sp) - Reduce upper crown by 4-5m by removing longer pollard re-growth back to previous pruning points and shaping smaller regrowth as needed. Reduce remainder of canopy by up to 2m by similar method as upper crown where possible or by selective pruning of side branches. Remove partly failed branch resting on fence. All works are part of routine management strategy for a pollarded tree and will allow more light into house and garden and reduce risk of further pollard re-growth failures in adverse weather conditions
