    The tree is positioned to the front of the property adjacent to the driveway, It is a young mature with a stem diameter 40 centimetres at chest height. The overall vitality of the tree is poor with signs of ash dieback throughout the crown. Mutated growth and deadwood are present through the crown rusty coloured stems on the ground. Due to its location over the driveway and proximity to the road I would recommend its removal. Being position behind the Lime trees on street the tree is hidden in summer and offers little amenity to the local area. Due to its decline I would consider that its removal would be the most appropriate action. It also appears that there may be another fungal pathogen at work in the tree due to the share amount of new growth that is dead, however no fungal bodies were present at the time and it is unclear as to what is causing this. Please see photo attached on next page.

    Our garden is at a lower level and is dominated by 9 conifer trees of varying sizes (please see the drawing). As a result there is very limited sunlight light coming into the garden throughout the day. Despite multiple attempts it is impossible to get rid of moss from the lawn also it has severely limited our ability to plant any flowers or grow vegetables. I would like to request to fell Conifer number 4, 5 and 7 please. Felling conifer 4 and 5 will give enough sunlight to the garden. This will allow us to plant a various flowering plant/vegetable and also help us to maintain a healthy lawn. Conifer 7 growth is severely hampered by excessive ivy growth therefore is weak hence there is a risk of accidental damage to the nearby property.

    Fraxinus excelsior exhibiting advanced symptoms of Hymenoscyphus fraxineus. The majority of the primary scaffold branches are infected by this fungal pathogen and the tree is unlikely to recover. Removal of the tree is required due to the foreseeable risk of branch failure, which could impact the neighbouring driveway and the adjacent garage building serving 42 Private Road.
