Back Garden Rear Boundary T1 - Ash Fell tree to as low as can be reasonably cut. Apply systemic herbicide to stump to prevent re-growth. Medium sized Ash which sits atop a raised area. The tree is of poor form, large cavity at 3m on SW side. Multiple unidentified brackets on lowest stem to the NE. A crack has also been identified on the face of the small retaining wall. Unfortunately, the tree is posing too much of a health and safety risk to the occupier and residents of the surrounding area, removal will abate this risk.
