Proposal
Reduce the Horse Chestnut by up to 2m to suitable growth points on the East side. Raise any remaining branches to 6m from ground level. This work is to reduce the amount of silt build up in the pond that this tree heavily overhangs. This should improve the water quaility for the pond and wildlife. This will also help to rebalance the tree and reduce the substantial wieght on this side of the tree which reduces the likelihood of failure. the trees current dimentions are 12m wide and 18m tall. The new dimentions will be 10m wide and 18m tall.
