Proposal

T1 Ash - Whole crown reduction to 3m above ground level. The tree is asymmetrical and while there is a large amount of growth near to the house and touching the garage at number 2, there are minimal branches overhanging number 3. Therefore a total reduction probably wouldn't be needed and partial reduction by up to 3 metres on number 2 side to cut back branches from the house and remove branches touching the garage to ensure a clear margin between tree and property would be sufficient.
