Proposal
TPO 0015 (1966) T20: T1, Oak tree to crown lift to a height of 4mtrs over the gardens and 5mtrs over the Cherry tree and road. Thin the tertiary branches with the crown, removing approximately 15%. Remove any dead wood. (Reason: crown lifting to improve the aesthetics of the tree, to increase the usable space in the gardens and to eliminate vehicle strikes. The tree appears to have been historically reduced and the resultant crown is now very dense, thinning the weaker branches will improve the long-term health of the tree by reducing the likelihood of deadwood within the crown going forward. Deadwood removal is necessary for the safety of the passing public and the occupants of nearby properties.)
