  T1- Ash Condition: Fair to declining. The tree is growing at a noticeable angle towards the dwelling. Issues: -Root activity is already causing damage to the low retaining wall along the driveway. -Continued growth poses a risk to a boundary wall of the driveway. -The lean towards the property presents a potential future hazard should the tree fail during adverse weather. -The trees root system also restricts the proposed widening of the driveway for vehicle access. Recommendation: Removal to prevent further structural damage and to improve site safety. T2 Elm Condition: Poor. The tree exhibits signs of decay and partial rot within the main stem. Issues: -Deteriorating structure with low amenity value. -Extensive ivy and bramble infestation. -Proximity to the boundary fence. -Contributing to shading of the rear elevation, exacerbating damp conditions. Recommendation: Removal due to poor health, structural weakness, and limited retention value. T3 Cherry Plum Condition: Poor. Ivy and bramble infestation present. Issues: -Toxic to dogs and potentially harmful to humans if ingested. -Provides little amenity or ecological value in current condition. -Growing into the garden fence and competing with adjacent trees. -Contributing to shading of the rear elevation, exacerbating damp conditions. Recommendation: Removal due to toxicity concerns, poor condition, and encroachment issues. T4 and T5 Apple Trees Condition: Poor. Infested with ivy and brambles for an extended period, reducing vigour. Issues: -Toxic to dogs. -Suppressed growth and limited productivity. -Contributing to shading of the rear elevation, exacerbating damp conditions. -Growing into the garden fence Recommendation: Removal due to poor health, toxicity concerns, and to improve sunlight and airflow to the rear of the house.
