  T144 - Lime - Remove low dead branch over path. Excessively long dead low branch over path at 7 meters. T143 - Walnut - Fell to ground level Poor vigor and little sign of retrenchment or potential retrenchment suggests sufficient crown reduction to mitigate. Extensive Armillaria mellea fruiting bodies and decay at base would send tree into further decline. T140 - Horse Chestnut - Pollard at previous point at 9m (remove all branches below this point) Tree not in leaf at time of survey but dieback and poor bud density in upper crown in line with decay at base suggests poor compartmentalization of decay. Probably pollarded in distant past at 3 meters then semi pollarded more recently at 8 meters. Tree over footpath and increased target range picnic benches. Although there is reduced vigor with decay reasonable bud density elsewhere suggests tree may recover from re-pollarding at 9 meter to reduce risk of whole tree failure.

  T1 Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) group of medium-sized trees, rear north-western corner of the apartment block. Works: Selectively prune the lateral branches growing towards the building to achieve approximately 2 metres of clearance from the building, where practicable. Prune back to suitable, strong growth points, retaining the natural form and maintaining the health and structural integrity of the trees. Reasons: To reduce the risk of damage to the building and minimise the risk of injury from falling branches within the communal garden areas, whilst maintaining the trees in a healthy and structurally sound condition. T2 Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) Group of approximately 56 young, self-sown trees Along the rear of the first two buildings at Estuary Reach, on the northern side of the development. Works: Fell approximately five to six young, self-sown sycamore trees to ground level.Reasons: The trees have established themselves between the rear of the properties at Estuary Reach and Graham Close. Removal is proposed to prevent potential damage to adjacent property groundworks as the trees develop.
