Proposal

Sweet Chestnut (G1) - removal of the entire lower branches to the stem within the lowest part of the crown on the two trees located south within the group because they target the seating area. A good ratio 3:1 with final pruning points will improve the appearance of the asymmetrical shape of the crown due to shading from neighbouring trees.
