What is this tall tree (around 3 meters) with big, wide leaves? What kind of pruning does it need? Thank you!

Sorry you asked about pruning. Over in England these are commonly planted as street trees. This being the case, they are pollarded back every 3 years whence branches arose from(Knuckles). This is carried out after leaf fall. The one in the picture looks like it has already been 'pollarded' before.
