Proposal

T1 Yew: Crown reduce by 2m in height and lateral spread. Works are proposed due to dieback throughout the canopy. The reduction will remove affected branch sections, reduce the extent of dieback within the crown and encourage healthy regenerative growth, with the aim of improving the tree’s overall condition and long-term vitality.
