See attached Arboricultural report, Enviroscope drawing 762:01 and photograph. Request for the trees to be felled as recommended in the report; T3 Common Ash. T50 Common Beech. T57 Weeping Willow. T69 Corsican Pine. T81 Portugal Laurel. Additional to the tree report recommendations Western Red Cedar (Thuja Plicata) within G1, the location is shown on drawing 252023-01-0.pdf and 4 photographs: x6 trees: Fell

Cherry Plum: Fell. Reason: tree is dead.

x2 Ash trees within G7: T1 Ash rear of 21 Meadow Drive; Fell. Reason; tree has already lost a limb. It has stem rot at crown break which could lead to further limb failure. T2 Ash rear of 19 Meadow Drive; Pollard, in line with reduction carried out on branches overhanging adjacent dwellings. Reason; to prevent future branch failure.

Blue Atlas Cedar, rear of property: Fell. Reason: tree has suffered severe storm damage and is now unbalanced, tree is now unsafe leaving remaining canopy over the sports field.

Section 211 Notice of removal of 2x Ash Trees indicated as T1 and T2 on Sketch Plan. Photos of trees attached Pic1 of T1 and Pic2 of T2. Both Ash trees are in an extremely poor physiological condition or even possibly dead. The school is concerned of their structural integrity and their liability in the event of structural failure.

Ash tree behind summer house identified as T1 in attached Sketch. The Ash tree is in an extremely poor physiological condition most probably due to Ash die back. Ivy now populates the majority of the tree. It has also suffered structural damage in recent storms when a neighbouring tree fell upon it. Our client is requesting removal of the tree.

Ash tree as identified as T1 on the attached Sketch Plan. Request to remove tree. Reason: The tree has two codominant stems joined at the base. There is evidence of significant decay at the top of the southern most stem as seen in Pic 2. We believe that this decay may extend to the base of the tree. A sounding hammer has been used at the base of the southernmost stem and a significant cavity is suspected although external signs were not identified. The previously adjacent Ash tree within a few metres proximity failed at the base and fell within a recent storm (24/10/23). The particular tree was discovered to have significant heartwood decay which hadn`t previously been identified. The structural failure of the tree caused damage to both the clients and neighbouring property. Naturally the client is concerned over the structural defect of this remaining Ash tree.

T1 Copper Beech: Reduce canopy height from 15m to 12m. Reduce canopy spread all-round from 8m to 6m from base of tree. This tree has been previously done. Its now starting to outgrow its location and is overhanging the public carriageway too much.

T1 ( T8 of Order) Beech: reduce crown spread to the North by 3.5m to leave a finished length of 9m. Reduce crown spread to the east by 2.4m to leave a finished length of 10m. Reduce lateral spread to the south by 3m to leave a finished length of 8m. All measurements are from main stem. Reason: tree condition, see supporting tree report, survey notes page 9.

Lime tree and Sycamore tree: reduce both trees to approximately 9m in height and 6m wide. Reason: encroachment over neighbouring properties.
