Proposal

T1 and T2 (copper beech) Raise the crown to approximately 4m by removing the lowest branches on both T1 and T2 to the trunk Thin the crown of branches on T1 and T2 that hang lower than 4m. The branches lower than 4 meters now impact the our drive and car parking. When in leaf the branches hang very low to the drive. It would also provide balance to the trees after the last lot of work completed by our neighbour at 50a Pope Lane on both trees on their side of the fence.
