T1 - Ash: Reduce the height of the tree by a maximum of two (revised from three by agreement with agent 08/03/23) metres along with the reduction in length of all lateral branches by a maximum of two metres in order to remove encroachment from over the footprint of the new dwelling to the west of the tree and from over the garden of 1 Thanet Terrace to the east. In addition to the overall reduction of the tree a further prescription is made for the removal of the central-most stem from the south east facing co-dominant stem due to the presence of Inonotus Hispidia. T2 - Hawthorn: Fell to ground level - The tree is predominantly dead with extensive decay and hollowing evident throughout its main stem.
