    I would like to remove the Magnolia Tree. It has become too large for the space and the root system has caused damage to the surrounding wall and driveway over the years which has been repaired but its now lifting the wall again from the foundations and its time to remove it and re-plant a smaller version. From the photos you can see the repairs to the driveway as the roots were causing cracking and also the repairs to retaining wall. It continues to grow vigorously year on year and its just got too big for what is a small space and I can't keep on top of the continual repairs needed.

    We have a huge ash tree in our back garden which has ash die back. The tree already has a weakness where the trunk is split and a brace has been installed at a height of approximately 10 to 12 meters. We are very keen to look after the tree and do not want it removed. We have had advice from an arborist who has suggested that the best option is to reduce the height to reduce risk of damage during storms and to generally manage the tree for its best health. He advised that if we do these works the tree should be fine for years to come. Although it does have die back it is not severe. I contacted the planning department in 2022 who confirmed that our property was in a conservation area but that there were no TPOs currently on any of our trees. We would like to reduce the whole crown to just above the height of the brace currently.
