Proposal

T4 - Norway Maple - crown thin by c.25% as congested. T9 - Walnut - lateral root prune because causing damage to neighbouring property paving and flint wall. Crown reduce to balance tree (as weight is biased to opposite side to proposed root pruning) and reduce height to reduce "sail effect". The tree is heavily weighted to the SW aspect and the roots need pruning on the SE aspect therefore I propose reducing the lateral branches to the SW aspect only by c. 3 - 4 metres (difficult to be specific as I think we are best to take the boughs right back rather than truncating them given the vigorous regenerative nature of walnut) and the height by 2 metres. The root prune would only be partial to those spreading under the neighbouring wall and property to the SE. T10 - Cherry - crown reduce to height of 4m and root prune for same reason as T9. T34 - Elder - remove as collapsing and damaging adjacent building - low amenity value. T35 - Mirabelle Plum - crown lift to remove 4 lower boughs to improve balance of tree and which are in danger of damaging building. T38 - Walnut - crown lift to 2m to improve light and amenity of garden and hedge behind.
