   T11 Acer saccharinum - Remove epicormic growth to 6m; Prune back from property line of 14 by 1-2m which will remove around 2m growth from the canopy of the tree but leave all other growth. The spread of the canopy toward 14 is around 12m, the proposed works will not lessen that figure but will reduce weight on that stem. In the background of the picture is another similar stem which can be left untouched and will over time fill the gap left by the removed limb; Prune back from property line of 39 by 1m - 2m - have estimated the crown spread to be around 10m at this section of tree, the range of 1m - 2m is to give a guide of no less than 1m but no more than 2m, where the climber is expected to choose growth points that are sufficient enough to assume apical dominance. Works are not to reduce back the entire canopy at that section. The canopy above is not going to be reduced, but should selective branches need to be tipped back to keep the shape of the lower reduced sections, I expect the climber to be able to make that call; Height will remain and spread selectively reduced as indicated.T12 Acer saccharinum - Remove epicormic growth to 6m; Selectively remove 40% of epicormic growth on low horizontal stem over road two photos (low horizontal stem and height of growth from low horizontal stem) show why 40% of epicormic growth should be removed, striping out or lion tailing is not the idea, retaining growth on the upper side which does not have pendulous form is desirable for a stem which is so low over the road.; Directional pruning of the low horizontal stem toward the end of the stem near the telephone wire, directional pruning would remove growth heading directly toward the wire or branches that have laterals that would catch the wire and create tension on the wire. Minor amounts to enable around three years worth of further growth after pruning without conflict arising between the green infrastructure and grey infrastructure; Reducing the canopy by 2-3m: se
