G1: (4no. Corsican pine) - Fell G2: (5no. Monterey pine) - Fell G3: (1no. Corsican pine, 1no. Douglas fir, 1no. Silver birch, 1no. Scoots pine) - Fell The G2 pine are over-mature trees with significant structural defects, they have previously shed large limbs into the garden area. The southernmost tree has failed and caused substantial damage to the silver birch and Scots pine in G3. The two Monterey pine to the north of the failed tree are leaning eastwards, but do not appear to have stabilised; they are exposed to increased wind loading following the failure of the adjacent tree and should be removed. It is proposed to remove the remaining trees in G1 due to their poor condition and risk of causing substantial damage being increased following the removal of the trees to the south. Likewise it is proposed to remove the G1 Corsican pine, which are mostly suppressed, together with the Corsican pine and Douglas fir in G3. By way of replacement, it is proposed to plant 5no. oak (Quercus robur), 3no. lime (Tilia cordata), 2 no. beech (Fagus sylvatica), and 3no. Silver birch (Betula pendula)
