I didn't do the work but I know the tree well. I am trying not to be too critical as I know it is all too easy to jump on other Arb work. It was probably a lapsed pollard and 1 of the major scaffolds failed showing signs of included bark, but I personally don't believe this justified the pruning that was done, and it was very hasty without a chance for a more considered response. 

I didn't think it would have been you somehow .

Good job I wasn't asked for a response or it would be gone now.

Well now we know it wasn’t you I think we can safely say it’s horrific. It’s been done with no thought at all.

My balanced and honest opinion is that I need another glass of red, or maybe 2!!!!!!!!

Specs the spec. It could have been done with more care to the aesthetics, would it have changed anything regards the trees response to the pruning? Probably not

True but its all about the shop front from my point of view and that looks a lot like Lidl!! No offence!!

apt reply there.  Yep from looking at the pics. it looks to have been cut back way to much in my opinion (which is based on the before n' after pics. and not seeing the spec. sheet for the job)  I'd rather take it out completely and replant 3 replacement tree instead of that heavy reduction.
