Notice of intent to carry out works to tree protected by Tree Preservation Order 6/74 - Horse-chestnut - Having looked at this tree I feel it is neccesary for this tree to be removed or at least brought down significantly so there is a lot less weight in the two boughs. there is flaking bark all around the tree and all leaf appears unhealthy/signs of disease. I also could see that it was showing signs of fault at V unions and upon grabbing one of the lower limbs the whole limb showed sign of movement suggesting that if proper force was applied it could tear away or snap off. Not only is this tree close to two properties and sheds, the house owner ( number 13 ) and the neighbours where the tree overhangs ( number 15 ) both have two young children in the house causing extreme worry. From observation you can see deadwood in the crown and also the tree is not recovering well from previous pruning. It appears there has been an attempt to brace the limbs together however I feel that this its not enough nor does it appear as if this tree was to fail the damage could be catastrophic.
