T1 Leylandii x Cupressocyparis leylandii T1 is growing within close proximity of the boundary wall. also overhanging a swimming pool and driveway of Belton house, also overhanging higher Lincombe road slightly. the growing habits of a leylandii is very fast growing with a shallow root system, leylandii are also known to shed overweighed limbs. when growing in a built up area leylandii require maintenance. I would like to reduce t1 by 50% and shown on pictures. this would be making pruning cuts of up to 25cm on vertical growth. this will remove risk of the tree failing and mean it can be kept for privacy and keep the aesthetics it provides the roadside. T2 Eucalyptus Eucalyptus globulus t2 is growing over the pool of Belton house. this tree is in good heath and the overall size of the tree seems to be fine for its surroundings. there is one very heavily weighted limb as marked in pic 2. this limb has grown towards the light and become heavily weighted. I would like to remove 1 primary limb entirely in order to remove the risk of failing above the swimming pool.
