Official description

Description: G001 – Common Ash, trees 00173–00177: remove 5 no. trees to ground level due to mid/late-stage Ash Dieback and poor condition. G002 – Mixed species group: remove to ground level, late-stage Ash Dieback and remove dead elm to ground level. T00160 – Common Ash: remove to ground level. T00161 – Common Ash: remove to ground level. T00164 – Common Ash: remove to ground level. T00165 – Common Ash: remove to ground level. T00166 – Common Ash: remove to ground level. T00167 – Common Ash: remove to ground level. T00168 – Common Ash: remove dead tree to ground level. T00169 – Common Ash: remove to ground level due to Ash Dieback and declining condition. T00170 – Common Ash: remove to ground level due to Ash Dieback and poor condition adjacent to driveway. T00180 – Common Ash: remove crown/tree to standing stem T00181 – Sycamore: remove to ground level; tree is largely dead and in poor condition. T00182 – English Yew: remove dead roadside tree to ground level; tree is leaning towards the road. T00183 – Sycamore: reduce crown by 2.5m in height and proportionately in spread due to compression fork at base and lean towards road. T00184 – Sycamore: remove to ground level due to Sooty Bark Disease T00185 – Common Ash: reduce to an 8–10m high monolith due to severe decline and late-stage Ash Dieback T00186 – Pedunculate Oak: reduce over-extended low limb by 2m laterally and remove major deadwood over the road. T00187 – Common Ash: aerially inspect cavity at point of bifurcation to establish extent of decay. T00188 – Common Ash: remove to ground level due to late-stage Ash Dieback and poor condition. T00189 – Common Ash: remove to ground level due to Ash Dieback and poor condition. T00190 – Sycamore: reduce in height by approximately 5m due to large basal cavitation, significant hollowing and large hung-up material within the canopy. T00191 – Pedunculate Oak: remove major deadwood over the road and sever ivy to approximately 0.5m above ground level. T00192 – Common Ash: reduce by approximately 5m in height and proportionately in spread. T00193 – Sycamore: remove basal epicormic growth to permit inspection of the base. T00194 – Sycamore: remove basal epicormic growth to permit inspection of the base. T00195 – Sycamore: remove hung-up and partially snapped branch from mid-crown. T00196 – Common Ash: remove to ground level due to late-stage Ash Dieback and poor condition. T00197 – Common Ash: remove to ground level due to late-stage Ash Dieback and poor condition. The principal reasons for the works are tree safety, progressive Ash Dieback, Sooty Bark Disease, dead and dying trees, structural defects, cavities, deadwood and general physiological decline, as detailed within the accompanying arboricultural report.
