Description

Communal Grounds: T1 twin stemmed Cherry. Crown reduce by approximately 2m to 3m. G1 Sycamore Group. Crown thin by approximately 5% and remove dead dying damaged and hazardous branches throughout the canopy. The submitted written description refers to T2, but the annotated plan labels the Sycamores as G1 Sycamore. For the Uniform works description, I would use G1 Sycamore Group because that better reflects the submitted plan and avoids treating the Sycamores as a single tree.
