Application Tree T1: This is a mature eucalyptus that stands approximately 60ft high and is close to both the house and a large, very old yew hedge. If the tree were to fall, it could cause serious damage to the house and any root ball lift could irreparably damage a large section of the hedge. The main issue is that good-sized branches fall off, even in just a moderate breeze. Since moving here in 2021, several branches large enough to kill or seriously injure have dropped, most taking place outside of storms. In the last 2 weeks another large branch has fallen (see Fig.2), and we now realise that much as we seek to retain all our trees, it simply isn't safe. The tree is situated such that the branches stretch over the section of our garden directly beyond the steps leading out from our house and as such is the area we would most frequently use. However the regular fall of branches means it is not safe to use that part of the garden when it is breezy which is inconvenient. Most of the branches are high above the ground and removing the upper section of the tree would not be practicable, as it would leave a mostly bare trunk. In addition to large branches, smaller material including large parts of the bark routinely fall. We seek to fell the tree to prevent risk of injury and to ensurethat the old yew hedge is not damaged in the event it falls in a storm. We would replace the tree with a smaller flowering cherry that would not risk damage to either hedge or house should it fall. Application Tree T2: We are not sure of the exact species of this specimen tree, but since moving to Coopers Green in March 2021 it has never shown more foliage than in the photos (Fig. 3). The mostly-bare branches suggest it is dying, and being visible from the street, it is not particularly attractive. We would like to fell it and replace with a flowering tree of similar maximum size to improve the street view.

There is a Lleylandi tree that we would like to have felled due to excessive shading and safety concerns provided by our surveyor. We are in the process of purchasing the house and want to understand the feasibility to fell the tree. The tree is in the the top left of the garden as you look at the back door of the property.
