  The tree in question is located within the communal gardens of Spangate and is refered to as tree 'Z' on the attached plan. The tree is a large silver birch and we understand that it was planted at the time of construction of Spangate - in 1963, making it around 65 years old. The tree has failed to 'leaf' this year - the first year this has happened. The advice from our arborist, who trimmed a good many of the trees in the comunal garden earlier this year, is that the tree is now dead. We therefore wish to have the tree felled and the stump removed.

  The very large white popular (Populus alba) has a large limb growing over the property roof. The end of the limb has a large rot pocket it and the rotten centre has fallen out nearly hitting the residents child playing under the tree. There is still a lot of growth and weight on the end of the limb and there is a very strong fear the limb may fail either damaging the property or hitting the residents child playing of family in the driveway. I strongly suggest the limb is reduced by around 2mtrs back to sound wood again to eliminate the risk of future snap outs. As this work is extremely high priority can I request it on a 5 day emergency decision.

  Fell Olive tree in raised front garden very close to the side wall of the garage. A structural surveyor noted that the root system of the tree is pushing against this wall, and has caused cracks to appear, and indicated that the removal of this tree is necessary to preserve the wall from further damage.
