T1 and T2 Horse Chestnut: reduction to both trees by approximately 2.5 metres in height and 2 metres in lateral spread. T3 Lime Tree: reduction by approximately 5 metres in height and 1.5 metres in lateral spread. The works are considered necessary due to the tree's significant overhang towards the neighbouring property, its pronounced lean and concerns regarding the condition of the basal area, where brittle cinder has been identified. The proposed reduction aims to reduce excessive crown weight, alleviate mechanical loading on the main stem and primary branches, and minimise the potential for limb failure.

G1 (4x Horse Chestnuts): Reduction of 2.5m reduction in overall height and a 2m reduction in lateral growth to all four trees.
