Approximate location: the centre of the postcode, not the exact property.

Proposal

01 - Sycamore - Reduce overall size of crown by 2.5m 01 - The works will reduce the end weight on elongated re-growth arising from previous pruning points, there by assisting in the management of branch loading and reducing mechanical stress on the crown structure. The reduction will also maintain appropriate clearance from surrounding structures and prevent the need for more severe intervention in the future. All pruning cuts will be made in accordance with british standards institution Bs3998: Tree work recommendations, by pruning back to suitable growth points and preserving the trees natural form.
