Proposal
T1- Ash Condition: Fair to declining. The tree is growing at a noticeable angle towards the dwelling.Issues:-Root activity is already causing damage to the low retaining wall along the driveway.-Continued growth poses a risk to a boundary wall of the driveway.-The lean towards the property presents a potential future hazard should the tree fail during adverse weather.-The trees root system also restricts the proposed widening of the driveway for vehicle access.Recommendation: Removal to prevent further structural damage and to improve site safety.T2 ElmCondition: Poor. The tree exhibits signs of decay and partial rot within the main stem.Issues:-Deteriorating structure with low amenity value.-Extensive ivy and bramble infestation.-Proximity to the boundary fence.-Contributing to shading of the rear elevation, exacerbating damp conditions.Recommendation: Removal due to poor health, structural weakness, and limited retention value.T3 Cherry PlumCondition: Poor. Ivy and bramble infestation present.Issues:-Toxic to dogs and potentially harmful to humans if ingested.-Provides little amenity or ecological value in current condition.-Growing into the garden fence and competing with adjacent trees.-Contributing to shading of the rear elevation, exacerbating damp conditions.Recommendation: Removal due to toxicity concerns, poor condition, and encroachment issues.T4 and T5 Apple Trees Condition: Poor. Infested with ivy and brambles for an extended period, reducing vigour.Issues:-Toxic to dogs.-Suppressed growth and limited productivity.-Contributing to shading of the rear elevation, exacerbating damp conditions.-Growing into the garden fenceRecommendation: Removal due to poor health, toxicity concerns, and to improve sunlight and airflow to the rear of the house.
