Proposal

T1: Self Set Adolescent Sycamore - This tree is beginning to interfere with the roof of the house and the horses next door. It is also swapping other surrounding trees. Request removal to ground level to improve light and protect foundations of house before it becomes an issue. T2: Self Set Semi Mature Sycamore - This tree is self set from the adjacent Mature Specimen. Request removal to ground level to improve light below and allow adjacent mature specimen to grow a full crown on that side of the tree. T3: Mature Sycamore - This tree is becoming very dominant and takes all the light from the garden and has a large sail. Request a 1.5m sympathetic crown reduction to growth points where necessary and a 10% thin and removal of deadwood.
