  Beech (T1) Fell. Reason It is considered that the tree is in terminal decline. The presence of Ganoderma austrael fruiting bodies around the basal area of the tree and lower stem indicate decay within these area which could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the tree leaving it susceptible to wind throw or stem fracture. Decay cavities at 4m up the stem have further compromised the structural integrity of the tree. The extensive dieback and dead branches within the upper and western canopy would indicate issues with the normal physiological functions of the tree potential resulting from the fungal infection around the base. The dwelling to the south and public footpath to the east are within falling distance were the tree to suffer wind throw or stem fracture. It is therefore considered that the tree poses a significant health and safety risk to the residents, their property and the general public using the footpath. See Arboricultural report attached.
