Proposal

1 - Walnut - removal of low hanging branches overhanging neighbours property, those below 2m, so the lower tree branches are above head height to permit safe use of garden area. Reduce lenght of reachable overhanging branches (up to 4 m from the ground) by, c 1 to 2 m whilst maintaining the shape and health of the tree. 2 - Ornamental Pear - the tree has been badly affected by draught and it has been recommended to remove dead / poor wood and reduce and reshape the the tree to support new growth which may enable it to recover. The reduction will reduce theh diameter of th etree (in plan view) from c. 7m to c. 5m, and retaining height of 4m. 3 - Bramley Apple - Remove dead wood from the underside of the existing canopy maintaing its current shape and tidy up to maintain tree health. Remove low hanging branches back to a height of 1.5 to 2 m from the ground to enable safe passage under the tree and access to adjacent play equipment. 4 - Beech - Reduce height of tree crown by approx 2m to approx.6m, slightly above the ridge of adjacent garage to reduce shading to underplanted hedge and provide space / light for struggling Ash Trees in neighbours garden
