False Acacia (pseudoacacia) - leaning heavily towards the neighbouring property - the fruiting body of a fungus has been identified towards base of tree - main stem is showing signs of decay with shedding bark and a cavity at the base - Due to the health, location, lean and uneven spread of the canopy it is my opinion that the tree has now become a hazard and has a high risk of failure at the base

Felling of a mature, dead Sycamore tree (T21) located on Land to the Rear of 70 North End Road, subject to Tree Preservation Order TPO/23/7/70. Following a recent inspection of the highway it has been noted that the tree is dead, the crown of which has the potential to fall onto the surrounding highway network managed by TfL.
