  T1 - Apple Suggested Works: Fell to near ground level Rationale: Tree is leaning and is not worthy of retention G2 - Ash Suggested Works: Dismantle group of 6 trees in stages to near ground level Rationale: A declining group of Ash. Evidently there is a history of very poor pruning and significant strimmer damage at the bases of many of the trees; and in my opinion I believe that they have also succumbed to Ash Dieback Disease. T3 - Oak Suggested Works: Reduce western limbs by 2m, approximate diameter of cut 50mm; reduce lowest southern limbs by 1.5m & upper southern limbs by 2m, approximate diameter of cut 25mm. Rationale: Following the removal of G2, this Oak tree will suffer a changed level of exposure to it's western and southern aspects. These works are suggested to alleviate some of the loading on the tree and to maximise the chances of it's continued healthy growth.
