T1 HAWTHORN (4m) To fell - dieback - immediately next to parked cars. T2 FALSE ACACIA - a small amount of additional localised cutting is now required. Removing a further 30mm vertically from the base of the tree will provide sufficient clearance from the wall to allow ongoing inspection of the tree, as well as preventing horizontal loads being applied to the wall (T2 Document 1, and T2 Photos 2-4). Additionally, one dead limb (12cm) needs to be removed (T2 Photo 1).

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.

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.
