Proposal

T3 Horse Chestnut. Numerous bark splits throughout, leading to exposed sapwood that may be susceptible to fungal colonisation. Tree has historically undergone branch reduction which has reduced the lever arm weight sufficiently. Overall, the tree shows a lack of vitality observed through lower than expected extension growth, bud density and size, like the Lime this is most likely age cycle related. - Reduce one low lateral that extends over wall by up to 2m. T6 Holly - Provide clearance of church roof and gutter by up to 1m minimum.
