Proposal

I would like to put in a notice of intent to prune an apple tree in my garden. I have 3 small children and the current condition of the tree could be a potential hazard to them playing in the garden. I want to take the weight of some of the limbs off the main trunk as far as possible to allow the tree to be healthier and less of a hazard. Reduction due to disease and weight is approximately 2metres. The tree appears to not have been pollarded in roughly a decade. The tree produces an excessive load and apples fall continuously for several months which makes a hazard for small children playing underneath.
