TPO 0036 (2002) G2: T1 Norway Maple. Reduce and reshape the North-west side of the Maple tree located in the front garden of the property, removing approximately 1.5mtrs, Crown lift to 4mtrs from ground level. T2, Lime. Reduce and reshape the crown of the Lime tree by removing approximately 3mtrs from the North-west side and crown raising to 4mtrs above ground level. Both these trees have only minimal growth on the South-east sides of their crowns due to the proximity of overhead electrical wires and equipment. Utility pruning has and continues to be severe and as such the trees are heavily weighted towards the dwellings. This pruning work is necessary to address some degree of balance and to restrict the growth towards the house.
