Works to be carried out by reduction back to suitable secondary growth points whilst retaining a natural and balanced crown form appropriate to the species.T0007 ? European Lime (Tilia x europaea): Undertake a light crown reduction and selective end-weight reduction of approximately 1.5?2.0 metres to elongated lateral limbs and upper co-dominant scaffold structure to reduce mechanical loading and wind sail. Remove ivy from the lower stem and primary unions and undertake routine monitoring of the co-dominant union structure.T0005 & T0003 ? European Lime (Tilia x europaea): Undertake light crown reduction and selective end-weight reduction of approximately 10?15% throughout the outer canopy to reduce loading on historic scaffold unions and constrained basal structures adjacent to the retaining wall. Remove minor deadwood and ivy growth from the lower stem and buttress areas to facilitate future inspection and ongoing management.Group G001 ? European Lime Group: Remov
