  Poplar tree 65 ft tall, We wish to remove the whole tree. The poplar in our garden at 4 Woodcutters Close, Hornchurch RM11 2EZ is located adjacent to the northwest corner of Haynes park which is a dog walkers area. The tree is 65 foot tall and is only less than 15 feet from the house. I have a 3 year old son who lives in the house and plays in the garden. It is less than 5 feet to the dog walkers path and the ledge on which young boys sit on the boundary to river in the Haynes park. The tree is covered in poison ivy and the tree surgeons have said that this has damaged the core of the tree and it is dying. The large tree sways significantly even in moderate winds and on several occasions large branches both from the top and lower areas have fallen. Some photos attached. The roots are visible close to the house. I have been advised by tree surgeons that the tree roots are causing movement of the ground making the lawn level uneven and constantly changing. This has led to paving stones close to the house coming up fully (video attached) and I have been advised there might be damage to the foundations of the house already. The fence panels are leaning out toward the park and the river. Recently a fence panel on the boundary to the park next to the tree came off going into the park and it had to be refixed with screws to retain in place preventing fall. The tree surgeons also noted that the tree is leaning toward the house and there is a risk of damage to the property and people in the house due to tree. There is a risk to public in the park and children do take that path regularly. The tree surgeons have advised that the tree has to be removed fully.
