    TPO 0005 (1960) A1: T1 - Ash to fell. (Tree is in very poor health. It has considerable die back at the top and also bark falling away at the base to reveal decay inside. It is also exibiting Inonotus bracket fungus. The fungus is very prevalent in the area unfortunately.) T2 Ash to fell. (The multi stemmed tree is clear dangerous. It has huge amounts of die back in the upper crown and bark is falling away at the base. Several large branches have already fallen. It has, I believe, advanced Innonotus hispidus fungus throughout.)

    T1 - Mature Sycamore - This tree exibits some dye back in the upper reaches of the crown. It also causes excessive shading at the bottom of the garden and concern has been raised about the neighbors greenhouse in high winds. Request a 2.5m Sympathetic crown reduction to growth points where possible to reduce wind and sail. Removal of major Deadwood over 3inches in diameter Crown lift to 6m G1 - This group of 13 semi mature Leylandii offer little in the way of amenity. They have been a point of contention with both neighbors and are also interfering with both the Sycamore and the Oaks crowns. Request removal to near ground level. T2 - Veteran Oak - This tree is in good health. Request removal of major deadwood over 2.5inchs in diameter Removal of lower Epicormic growth to 4m to crown break to improve vista of tree and light below.

    T1 - Cherry tree - Reduce crown by about 3m, or, if this is not possible reduce the crown where it overhangs 67 Hemingford Road by a similar amount. Reason - This would reduce the overshadowing of the roof of 67 Hemingford Road and also prevent branches impinging on telephone wires connecting to 65 Hemingford Road.
