@edmundro you're tree surgeon right? Can I ask your opinion on what could be the best course of action to take this oak down a bit? Would pollarding be a bad idea considering I don't think it's been done a regular intervals in the past?
It has a trim last year but I don't think he took anything off the height, just lifted the crown a bit and thinned. It now blocks all sun from my garden in the middle of the day, it at least left a sunny patch by the house previously.
I'll be waiting until winter to do anything drastic but would like to get a plan of action sorted in advance.
No access for cranes unfortunately.
