  T14 (T266 past tree report) Quercus ilex - Holm oak - I would recommend this tree be removed on the grounds of safety at the earliest opportunity. However given the importance of this tree and high amenity value it is strongly recommended that a resistograph drill test is undertaken to correlate and back up the Picus tomogram.
