T6 - Sweet chestnut - reduce current radial branch from 14 M to 11 M and reduce crown from 14 M to 11 M- Carry out sensitive weight end reduction works by a maximum of 3m with an emphasis on longer protruding growth to alleviate weight loading on historical pollard points (Current radial branch length approx. 14m/ Finalised radial branch length approx. 11m)- Lift low crown all round to achieve 3m height clearance from ground level - Stabilise major deadwood by shortening and retaining stubs where possible T21-Sycamore and T23- 2 x Sycamore- Remove major deadwood from both trees due to increase in usage of adjacent area for garden plans T31- Deodar cedar - Remove major deadwood from crownT56B- Copper beech -on northern edge of Kings Orchard with tight, unsatisfactory union at 9m on western stem (nearest lawn) - Remove crossing branch (smaller stem) to effectively formative prune to prevent issue in futureT65 - Common ash-Re-pollard established regrowth, by pruning 1.5m of regrowth back to vicinity of previous pruning points (knuckles), taking care not to breach occluded areas. (current height 8m, finalised height 6.5m)T69A and T69B -2 x cherry - Lift low crown over footpaths to 2.5m above ground by pruning small diameter low hanging growth, Lift over road to 5.5m above ground by pruning small diameter low hanging growth T69B- Cherry -Reduce by 1m back to upright growth pointT72- Silver Birch- South limb originating at 3m: - Sensitively reduce branch ends by 'drop crotch' pruning by 2m of longer protruding growth back into the upper frameworks of the canopy. All cuts to secondary growth points, maintaining shape and form at all times (Current branch length 11m/ Finalised branch length 9m ) NW limb originating at 3m over path Sensitively reduce branch ends by 'drop crotch' pruning by 2m All cuts to secondary growth points, maintaining shape (Current branch length 11m/ Finalised branch length to 9M
