Proposal

TPO Application to reduce the crown of One London Plane tree (T1) by approx.3m. Leaving a remaining height of Approx.19m and remaining Spread of approx.19m. The Tree is now rubbing on the adjacent building, the pruning is intended to remove the risk of damage to both building fabric and tree so as not to create potential failure points on any rubbing branches.
