Description

T1 - Oak: Reduce lower crown to clear overhang from garden as much as possible. Remove deadwood. The height of the tree will not alter, and will remain at around 14m. The lower crown will be reduced in length by up to 3m on the north side of the tree, this will still leave around 5m of growth at the furthest point, which will make the tree more symmetrical in relation to the south side over the golf course. - The subject tree is interfering with the reasonable enjoyment of a large proportion of the rear garden. - It's a large dominant tree in close proximity to the property. - The subject tree is of a large spreading nature straddling gardens and encroaching on to residents buildings.
