Proposal

Front T1 Horse Chestnut x (Aesculus hippocastanum) This tree has out grown its cyclical pruning regime - reduce crown back to previous points of reduction which approx equates to 2.2.5m retain furnishing growth leaving tree approx 14m high Front T2 Crab Apple: reduce the overlong growth back into the main body of the crown by approximately 1.5m to create a more compact rounded shape - raise crown to statutory height. Leaving tree approx 6m hight adn 6m width next door T3 Purple leaf Plum x . (Prunus cerasifera 'Nigra') Selectively reduce the overlong growth back to main body of the crown by approx 1-1.5m, do not cut back fence line. Leaving 6m height and 5m width Rear (no mans land) T4 Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) This large virgin sycamore is situated between land that's owned by Thames Water and the property of my client, we need to get permission for essential work as this mature tree lateral spread almost exceeds the width of Mr Collins' garden, the height of the tree also obscures the view over the Barnes wetland centre. Reduce crown by approx 2-3m leaving height of 16m and width 12m rear T5 Magnolia x . (Magnolia spp) Reduce the limb growing over the garden by 1-1.5m to alleviate some of the weight leaving 5m height and 4m width
