    Pine (T11) - Remove to near ground level. The pine exhibits a pronounced lean and is giving rise to safety concerns. Due to the tree's form and orientation, there is concern regarding its continued stability and the potential risk of failure. Removal of the tree to near ground level is therefore proposed in the interests of safety and to mitigate the risk posed by the tree.
