    T1 - Whitebeam - 2 meters off the top of T1 just as general maintenance so it doesn't reach unmanageable height for size of our, garden this would bring it closer to height of our neighbours and T2 T2 - Whitebeam - No works T3 - Whitebeam - Is unbalanced and so like T1 I want to bring height down 2 meters and bring the side as you can see in photo back in to maintain balance and reduce the overhang into my neighbours land.
