Proposal
T24, the Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), has suffered a partial failure of one of the lower limbs between the last survey and the current one. A dynamic brace has been fitted to stop the failure progressing and with the intention of allowing the tree time to strengthen the wood at the point of failure. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be any positive change to the area around the point of failure. Fortunately, the limb is not one of the most significant stems, and should it be removed, would not greatly alter the aesthetic of the tree.Since the survey it has been monitored and the crack appears to be worsening. With the tree placement being on the playing fields, where a significant amount of children like to shade and play near; it has become a concern to safety.The tree branch has currently been barriered off from access to prevent children playing underneath; reducing the possibility of injury should the branch fail. It is of a significant size and would probably result in a fatality.We are looking to remove the limb in question; but want to keep the tree in tact; as it is a significant feature and much loved.
