    T1 Lime: Fell Justification for Tree Removal - retention is not viable on structural and safety grounds of boundary wall - wall in question is of modest height, it performs a retaining function supporting the difference in levels between the property and the adjacent public footway. The tree's radial root expansion has exerted sustained lateral pressure on the masonry, resulting in visible bowing of the wall and measurable displacement beyond the original footprint. The wall now encroaches onto the public highway. The pattern of deformation, including horizontal shear fissures and outward lean, is characteristic of radial root thickening rather than settlement or workmanship defects. A bridging or load-bearing root-protection solution has been considered but is technically unfeasible. The wall's shallow foundation depth and limited structural capacity cannot support a cantilevered system without full reconstruction - rooting environment is also severely constrained by the wall and adjoining hard surfacing, leading to dominant surface rooting and localised pavement heave. Continued radial growth will further destabilise the wall and create an ongoing hazard to pedestrians, proximity to the pavement and visible distortion present a foreseeable risk of collapse onto the public footway. This risk engages the duty of care under the Occupiers' Liability Act 1957 and the potential for enforcement under Section 154 of the Highways Act 1980, should the highway authority consider the wall to be in a dangerous condition. Given these factors, engineering retention measures are neither proportionate nor practical. Removal of the existing tree represents the only safe and sustainable option. The owner proposes to plant a semi-mature replacement specimen of appropriate species within a root-contained system to prevent future structural conflict, ensuring continuity of canopy cover in accordance with BS 3998: 2010 ? Recommendations for Tree Work and BS 8545: 2014 - Establishment of Young Trees.

    WHITEHOUSE, 34B FOYLE ROAD, LONDON, SE3 7RH

    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.

Can this be put on an emergency 5 day responce due to the trees condition please. The client has agreed to do plant like for like in a new location to make sure there is nothing in the soil that has caused the tree to decline so rapidly.

    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.
