    Two Birch trees located at 54 Leighton Rd and labelled A and B are shown on the plan view attached. Tree A has a low branch, identified on location pictures 1 and 2 attached, requires removing due to excessive shading and its interference with the street lamp outside 56 Leighton Rd.

    Mature Lime tree (T1) - Dead wooding works throughout the whole tree for duty of care; alongside a crown congestion clean. Mature Yew tree (T2) - Dead wooding works and crown raising to 2.1-2.4m over footpath due to the tree blocking access to the footpath. Mature Cherry tree (T3) - Dead wooding works, removal of ivy from base and continual monitoring of the tree to see if the decline worsens. If this is the case, we would then recommend a full removal and if possible, plant a replacement of a similar tree.
