    Scots Pine (T1) - Fell due to lean towards building and poor form to remove risk and allow more light into the garden which is due to be landscaped and re-planted. Sycamore (T2) - Crown lift a browse line of soft growth around 75mm at point of attachment to a height of the main limbs approx. 5-7m to allow more light in to the garden. Crown reduction on north side of approx. 15% (1-2m longest length of product), a light suppressive prune back of soft growth up to 100mm at point of attachment. This will allow the grown to be kept away from growing over the glass roof on the conservatory. Scots Pine (T3) - Fell - Honey fungus present at base and given the significance of the potential this could have on the root plate of the tree. The crown is also showing signs of spare needle coverage. Re-plant with fastigiate form tree which will not grow to large.
