T7 - Sycamore - Remove lowest two horizontal limbs to north over car park, or significantly reduce to suitable growth points; reduce whole crown by 2-3m. Inspect tops of branches, particularly over footpath, for squirrel damage and remove affected limbs. T8 - Sycamore - Reduce or remove squirrel damaged limbs. Where removing, reduce adjacent limbs to balance crown. Reduce and remove low limbs, (to 6m) to reduce shading and reduce risk of limb failure. T9 - Sycamore - Aerially inspect for squirrel damage. Reduce or remove damaged limbs. Rebalance adjacent limbs as necessary. Reduce low and mid crown limbs to south. Up to 7m height. T10 - Sycamore - Aerially inspect crown for squirrel damage. Reduce or remove affected limbs. Reduce adjacent limbs to balance crown; remove lowest limb to south. T12 - Beech - Reduce by approx 4/5 elongated limbs in mid-high crown of eastern stem. Originating at approx. 10m and 14m in height, to reduce stress loading on main eastern scaffold limb; thin by 20% and lift to approx. 6m low crown, (up to 8m height), on eastern scaffold. Consider cobra style cable brace between main scaffold limbs, in event of failure at crown break. T13 - Sycamore - Consider aerial inspection of whole eastern crown over garden, removing significantly squirrel damaged limbs. Reduce to rebalance crown on adjacent branches, where limbs removed.
