This specimen was classified as a low-quality tree (Category C) in the Arboricultural Survey conducted in July 2023, indicating limited ecological or biodiversity value and little potential for long-term retention.The oversized shrub poses several practical issues - it partially blocks the main access to the driveway and restricts entry for taller vehicles. It also significantly reduces natural light to both the garden and the interior of the home.
