Proposal

G1 2x Horse chestnut and 1x common beech to be reduced in height by approx 50% to just above lateral branch above bird box (beech) and chestnut to be reduced to same height as beech tree to leave in uniform height. G1 1 x Common Beech: Pre pruning dimensions: H: 18m W: 5m Post Pruning dimensions: H: 9m W: 4m 2 x Horse Chestnuts: Taller tre: Pre pruning dimensions: H: 15m W: 4m Post Pruning dimensions: H: 9m W: 4m Smaller tree: Pre pruning dimensions: H: 12m W: 4m Post Pruning dimensions: H: 6m W: 4m Reasons: Beech tree has decay at the base, so the work is being done to reduce the wind resistance on the stem and manage as a monolith going forward. The two horse chestnuts have grown with poor form because of the beech trees dominance.
