T1 Ash: Remove Reason: rot in main fork around 10m T2 Remove base with co-dominate stem having included bark, signs of honey fungus T3 Repollard back to previous pollard points Reasons: T1 and T2 are both causing the client concerns being so close to properties. Excessive shading, and leaves constantly causing gutter problems. Trees will be replaced further down in the garden.

Pine (T5 on sketch plan) - Fell, Pine (T6 on sketch plan) - Fell, Pine (T7 on sketch plan) - Fell 1. The tree works are proposed to stop the influence of the tree(s) on the soil below building foundation level and provide long term stability. 2. Estimated costs of repair to the building are £50,000.00 if the influence of the tree(s) remain and £2500.00 if the proposed tree works are allowed to proceed. Granting permission will limit these costs. In the event of a refusal we, or our clients, will seek to secure compensation for the additional costs incurred through Section 202(e). 3. Should the tree/s remain the total cost of repairs will be the Superstructural repairs + Alternative method of repairs = £52,500.00 4. It is the expert opinion of both the case engineer and arboriculturalist that on the balance of probabilities the supporting information demonstrates the influence of the tree(s).

ANGLIAN WATER LITTLECOATES 464910 pollard T1 Lime (Tilia x europaea) and to fell to ground level T2 Ash (Fraxinus excelsior). Both T1 and T2 are overhanging properties on Chelmsford Avenue. T1 Lime has extensive dead wood in the crown and is located directly above shed/greenhouse of 52 Chelmsford Avenue. T2 Ash has evidence of Hymen scyphus Fraxinus, with some limbs having already failed in the crown. Following the trees removal, tree replanting will be carried out in the next replanting season. Please kindly advise species for replanting.

TREE PRESERVATION ORDER: TPO Great Coates Order 1966 (G10) TREES T1 Pine and T2 Pine of MWA Arboricultural Report. Works - REMOVE Reason: The above trees are considered to be responsible for root induced clay shrinkage subsidence damage to 43 Meadowbank, DN37 9PG. Please see attached statement of reasons for works.

T1 Pine: Fell Reason: concerns over trees condition, canopy overhanging property, drainage issues. T1 Pine - Alternative work specification: Remove all deadwood, reduce height to point indicated on photo and reduce canopy spread to 3m from fence line. Reasons: as above

Land rear of No. 32, Chestnut: Fell Reason: concerns over encroachment over various gardens and falling debris such as conkers into garden where young children play.

Poplar T1 - 18m tall, 18m spread. Retrenchment prune by up to 4m all over to suitable growth points to result in a tree 14m tall and 10m spread. Tree has thrown several large limbs in recent years. Heavy pruning is required to reduce weight on the remaining limbs to help prevent further limb loss. Beech T2 - Reduce over extended laterals all over by up to 3m (to suitable growth points) to bring them in line with the main canopy. Works to reduce the encroachment towards the house and balance the canopy thereafter. Overall size of the main canopy will be unaffected. Chestnut T3 - 16m tall 16m spread. Re pollard to previous points. Tree has previously been pollarded. With pollard re growth being notoriously weak and regrowth encroaching on the house and garage, the tree requires re pollarding to remove the risk or regrowth failing and to allow regeneration at the previous points resulting in a tree roughly 8m tall and 8m spread. Pine T4 - Fell. Tree has moderate lean and is weighted into the lean. Historic excavations could have damaged the root structure further contributing to the lean over time and the path below is lifting which could indicate root heave. Tree has little protection from winds with a moderate target zone. Conifers TG1 - Re top to previously topped height (approximately 8m). Hornbeam TG2 - Reduce 3x hornbeam in height by up to 3m to suitable growth points (from 20m to 17m tall) to manage their size given their location along the boundary. To fell a 4th smaller hornbeam that has a lean due to suppression by the 3 larger trees.
