Thoughts on this one, please?

[Seatonian]

Just moved in to a house in a conservation area.  The tree needs some TLC after a few years of being left to it's own devices.  I've tried the usual sources but cant manage to tie the species down so I can complete the advisory form to the LPA for pruning.

 

Any thoughts please?  (Apologies for the random nature of the images)

Box elder

Acer Negundo!

 

Or ash-leafed maple.

All 3 are the same.

It’s been hammered before, and I would hammer it equally hard again, because the regrowth is really quick.

 

(In consent parlance, ‘cut back to previous’. Probs best to avoid the word ‘hammer’.)

@Excels1or / @Mark Bolam - thanks both, really appreciated. (And, yes, 'hammered' will be omitted from the LPA form! 🤣)
