The tree in question is the southernmost of the two Copper Beech forming 'G7' from TPO 25/02/SC. It is referenced as 'T001' on the attached drawing 9704. The specimen has been under the supervision of Hayden's Arboricultural Consultants since a rapid decline in the physiological health of the tree was observed in spring 2022. A photo of the tree was captured in August 2022 (attached) which shows the crown with an approx. 50% sparsity/dieback. Since then, the specimen has continued its rapid decline and as now on the cusp of being dead, and very unlikely to come into leaf next year. The cause of the death of the tree is suspected Beech Bark Disease. Cracks in the buttressing and lower stem were noted in August 2022, which resemble those caused by this disease, though no orange/rust fungal growths were observed at the time. The approved construction works allied to this site had not started by August 2022, so it can be confidently stated that the decline of the tree is not related to recent activity around the tree. A replacement Copper Beech tree will be planted in the location shown on drawing 9704.

Remedial works to boundary, including demolition of remaining wall and erection of boundary party fence. The proposed works comprise of: a) The demolition of the existing brick wall. b) Removal of existing tree roots. c) Construction of new reinforced concrete foundation to finish flush with neighbours ground level. d) Construction of new dwarf brick wall to match height of foundation. e) Installation of new timber fence.

Hornbeam (T006) - fell because of multiple tight unions and poorly healed wounds throughout the crown as commented on by Trees Officer Joanna Davies and dieback in the southern portion of the crown. There is potential for the tight unions to break apart over the existing site access, adjacent public footpath or neighbouring driveway. Replant with one standard non-fastigiate hornbeam in the same position during the planting season following completion of construction at the Lockton House site.
