Proposal

1 x London plane: Reduction of previously reduced lower branches to most recent reduction points, retaining shortened furnishing growth where appropriate to soften the canopy outline. Reduction of one longer branch projecting beyond the main canopy line towards Dean Trench Street by approximately 4m, drop-crotching to suitable branch junctions to maintain a natural form and flowing canopy outline. Reduction of remainder of canopy by 3-4 m, again drop-crotching to suitable branch junctions to maintain a natural form and flowing canopy outline.
