Proposal

T1 - Small (previously pruned from the property) Holm Oak: Prune back the overhang laterally from the property of No 38, in line with the boundary fence. Diameter cut size of up to 12 cm. Reasons: It has been previous pruned back to this point, and so we would be removing re-growth back to previous points. Damage has been caused to the roof due to squirrels using the branches as access. T2 - Large Holm Oak: Prune back the overhang laterally from the property of No 38, in line with the boundary fence. Cut size of up to 9-12cm, consisting of predominantly 3rd order growth. Reason: To reduce excessive leaf matter covering the roof and patio areas. The pruning work will be sympathetic to the balance of the tree. Pruning cuts to be less than third diameter of parent branches.
