Proposal

T1 - Variegated Holly marked T1 on sketch plan. 40% height reduction and reshaping. Tree is now of an increasing height and width such thatit is reducing light into front garden, overhangs lawn area, and routine cut and maintenance now required. T2 - Maple (Acer) marked T2 on sketch plan - reduce north low limbs 4 feet to canopy. Tree requires routine cut and maintenance to retain shape, lower limbs are a potential hazard when mowing front lawn and overhang pavement used as access by pedestrians to adjacent The Downs school, and there is a telephone line just above current top of the tree.
