    WITHIN GROUNDS (See Map - supporting documents): 642 On west lawn near main gate London Plane (Platanus x Acerifolia) Fair to poor structural condition. Climbing inspection carried out September 2012, report reference DM1913Rss 10.09.12 to investigate defects between 19 and 23 metres above ground level, recommended a significant crown reduction of western co-dominant stem by 6.4 metres in height and 2 metres in crown spread, which has not been carried out. Decay cavities within western co-dominant at 16.0 and 20.0 metres. o Reduce entire crown by 6.0 metres in height, reduce lateral to south and south-west emanating at 13.0 metres by 3.0 metres and reduce lateral spread of remaining crown by between 1 and 2 metres to balance. 677 Adjacent main gates London Plane (Platanus x Acerifolia) Good structural condition. Wide-spreading crown, predominating to the east. Heavily weighted above 90 degree angled branch at 14.0 metres. Reduce weight of crown above 90 degree angled branch by raising descending growth by approximately 4.0 metres 678 In bed adjacent to main gate London Plane (Platanus x Acerifolia) Fair structural condition. 100mm x 100mm decay cavity at base on south side between buttress roots, can be probed 250mm - no significant progression since but will require on-going monitoring. Proliferation of young surface roots on east and south sides of main stem, together with the significant bulging at the base are indicative of underlying decay. Low lying, descending crown to east, south and west (5 - 8 metre vertical clearance). Carry out non-invasive PICUS test to establish extent of decay at base, within 12 months (Large stem, approx. 20 sensors required). Reduce and lateral spread of crown to south, east and west sides of main stem by between 2 and 3 metres and raise descending growth by approximately 4.0 metres. 2 months
