Tree is a leylandii in the extreme south east corner of the garden at 10 North Avenue. The garden soil level at the tree root is 4ft above the soil level in the garden of 17 South Avenue, and 3ft above the level of the garden in 12 North Avenue. The tree is over 15m tall and the root ball is only supported on the south and east aspects by single skin brick walls which have no foundations. These are failing and the tree is in a dangerous position and could fall at any time. The plan is to completely fell the tree and remove it.
