Proposal

T1 - Yew tree: nearest the Preschool canopy. The crown does overhang the existing canopy and green area of the Preschool, a light (50-75cm) crown lift of the lower branches immediately overhanging would be acceptable. This could be supplemented by a low tip reduction (1-1.5m) of the same branches, at the same time. As recommended by: Jon Thomas TechArborA, Senior Tree Officer
