Description

Works to trees protected by a TPO. My client would like to reduce the canopy of T2 (Birch) by up to 2m branch length, only pruning regrowth and not pruning back further than previous pruning points, leaving suitable growth points. The reason for this is to maintain the trees size and keep away from the building. The trees regrowth has weak unions likely due to previous heavy pruning and signs of decay. They would also like to remove T1 (Birch) in the front border. The reason for this, the tree is growing in a brick planter which has become damaged, likely due to the tree. The brick planter is being removed and will be replaced with mature hedging along the border.
