Proposal

T1 Sycamore - Draw back on the western aspect by approximately 3.5m in the lower 1/3 of the canopy tapering to approximately 1m in the upper 1/3 of the canopy to leave a rounded form to this aspect of the canopy. All cuts will be made to appropriate pruning points in line with BS3998. The reason for the works is the tree casts excessive shade to the back garden.
