Proposal

Carry out crown reduction, selective crown thinning, and corrective formative pruning to a group of established fruit trees within the garden, in order to manage excessive canopy growth, improve light penetration, reduce congestion and interlocking branches, and support the long-term health, structure, and sustainable form of the trees. All works are designed to retain the character, amenity value, and contribution of the trees to the conservation area at 5 Windmill Hill, North Curry
