Proposal
G1 (labelled 7885 on site plan) - Ash - Crown reduce 2.5m back to previous growth. Reason - fungus present at the base and ash dieback also the tree is overhanging the adjacent property. This management returns the tree to a more manageable size and reduces weight and therefore makes failure less likely and means the tree is no longer overhanging.G1 (labelled 896 on site plan) - Ash - Crown reduce 3.5m back to previous growth Reason - fungus present at the base and ash dieback causing major branch dieback previously. This management returns the tree to a more manageable size and reduces weight and therefore makes failure less likely.G1 (labelled 899 on site plan) - Ash - crown reduce 3m to previous cuts. Reason - Ash dieback is present and there is crown decline and there was fungal fruiting body present at the time of inspection. Reducing this tree to a smaller size reduces weight on the unions and tries to retain the tree for longer. G1 (labelled 902 on site plan) - Ash - Crown reduce by 2m to previous cuts. Reason - There is ash dieback present and it appears the tree has started to see some decline in the crown. There was also fungal fruiting body when inspection was undertaken. Reducing this tree to a smaller size reduces weight on the unions and tries to retain the tree for longer.G2 (labelled 8023 on site plan) - Yew - Cut back between 1-2m. Reason - to allow light travel down both footpaths and protects the streetlight from being damaged.
