Prestonville Court 134 Dyke Road Brighton Brighton & Hove BN1 3UG

T1 Beech - This tree has a large cavity around 15 feet. We have climbed the tree and inspected the wound and was able to insert rebar into it to a depth of well over 3 feet without reaching the bottom. The cavity also runs for 2 feet laterally and 18" from side to side. This tree is approximately 50 + feet and has a bias towards the neighbouring flats, presenting unacceptable danger should the fail around this very real weak spot in the stem. It is, in my opinion, an accident waiting to happen. I'm not ever keen to remove trees, unless they pose a danger to life or property. Therefore, we prepose that the tree be section felled for public safety. T2 Beech - Tip prune of not more than 1-2 meters of the entire canopy. This is to keep the tree from outgrowing its surroundings, ie the flats adjacent to Prestonville Court T3 - T11 Sycamores - Reduce height by approx 3meters and reduce lateral branches where necessary to keep shape of the trees General maintenance of these trees have not been done for several years I believe.
