Proposal

T1 CY1 Cherry Tree,- Mature Tree reaching end of life & suffering from noticeable decay in some upper limbs Works,- Reduce and reshape crown up to 2m removal subject to decay found, to reduce burden on limbs, improve safety, eliminate contact with overhead lines and encroachment of highway. T2 Row trees forming eastern boundary. Comprising 6x ash (A), 4x silver birch (SB), 1x sycamore (SY) & 1x cherry (CY) Works,- Maintain at historic 'cut line' to keep at manageble height and volume. Keep growth out of overhead lines and encroaching highway. Historically this row of trees have been cut to form an arch shape in silhouette running north / south. Cut line ranges from 4.5m at the ends to 6m at apex. By late autumn growth height will exceed 8m so would like to reduce back to historic cut line by removing 2-2.5m of growth.
