Approximate location: the centre of the postcode, not the exact property.

Proposal

T1 Holly: Fell to ground level. Small tree on the end of a hedge that extends over the garage. The hedge is to be removed and consists mostly of climbers below 75mm dbh. I believe T1 is the only tree in it above 75mm dbh. T2 Pear: Thin a shape canopy, no more than 30% of canopy to be removed. Reduce protruding limbs to give a more symetrical and compact shape. Cuts will not exceed 2" diameter. T3 Elder: Remove NE branch (approx. 100mm diameter at base) that overhangs garden, cutting back to main stem. Thin canopy by maximum of 30%. T4 Bay: Reduce height to 3m by a single cut to the main stem.
