  REAR: ONE Pear (T1)(ht.5m) FELL. Reason: T1 is the smaller of 2 rear pear trees, this small tree is in severe decline with multiple areas of de-laminated bark. Informative A: huge thank you for retaining the larger pear tree for rear amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative B: a replacement tree for T1 is encouraged such as pear, crab apple, quince (Cydonia oblonga), mulberry, loquat, Amelanchier, hawthorn, elder, hazel. Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative D: the resin bound surfacing encircling the 2x pear trees may be detrimentally affecting the rooting environment by reducing gaseous exchange and rainwater infiltration, a more permeable surface is encouraged such as chipped bark or gravel.

  FRONT:ONE very Large Pine tree (T1) Ht approx 10m Fell to ground level. REASON: Tree is very large, not a native species. It is leaning a lot, based on the corner of the plot at junction between 66 Southbrook rd & Manor lane, besides the saftey issue, there is the damage to the street paving the roots can cause. Also damage to the garden wall, driveway & also possible structural damage to the house; the tree has just become far too tall. REPLANTING PROPOSAL: We will be happy to plant a new tree along the same boundary wall. We have planted others in the front and back garden already over the years but there is space for one more. We will plant it along the same wall near the existing tree if there is adequate space for it. Alternatively, we can plant one in the back garden. We have not decided what tree to plant and are open to suggestions. There are nice trees that blossom all along Southbrook Road. They do not seem to grow too big to cause damage. So if you know what they're called we can plant one of those.

  REAR: ONE Lombardy Poplar (T1)(ht.16m) CROWN REDUCE by 10-11m to ht.5-6m, REDUCE SPREAD from 10m to 5m to create new pollard. Reason: multi-stemmed tree has had a major stem failure exposing large cavity approx.2m above gd level. Remaining stem above cavity is weighted towards neighbouring properties and a crown reduction to reduce weight and sail above cavity is urgently needed to minimise risk of future failures. Merely reducing the one stem would drastically change the balance of the overall canopy and exposure to wind would be likely to cause more failures on the remaining stems. Crown reduction is required for safety to reduce overall canopy to approximately 5-6m from ground level (please see annotated photo) to create a new pollard. Informative A: thank you for managing the tree by safe reduction to retain as a low pollard for rear amenity, wildlife and canopy shade to reduce heatwave temperatures due to climate change. Informative B: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
