Proposal

1 x lime (T1): Reduce branches towards the house by 1-1.5 metres (to go no further than the previous cutting points). Reduce and shape branches towards the adjacent block of flats known as Grove End Gardens by 2-3 metres (to leave flowing crown outline, whilst retaining the internal branch foliage). Reduce the length of the dead stems in the upper crown by 2-3 metres, cutting them back to live side shoots to act as a framework for future growth). Remove all the remaining dead wood.
