Proposal

T1 - Hawthorn - prune branches away from streetlight by removing back to main stem or lowering to fence height. Reduce height by pruning down to smaller rear stem. T2 - Damson - reduce height by approx. 4ft and thin as necessary to reduce weight and windsail. Remove limb growing over bin area to improve balance of tree. T3 - Mature Cherry on left hand side of driveway - tree has significant structural timber defects at two levels (see pics) meaning the tree may fail at either point, there is significant risk to public/property as the tree is overhanging the driveway - dismantle to ground level and re-plant. T4 - Small leaning Cherry by side gate - tree is not offering any real amenity value and is growing with an unusual lean over the fence - dismantle to ground level. T5 - Crab Apple in rear garden orchard area - tree is in decline and shades pond area - dismantle to ground level. T6 - Mature Walnut (on right hand side of fence line) - shorten lower right hand limb to lessen weight. Remove major deadwood and carry out aerial inspection for structural defects.
