T1: Sycamore - TPO tree with large cavity at base. Twin stemmed from 1m then trifucated at 2m. A large dominant tree overhanging neighbouring property and garden. The tree appears to have good vitality and there were no visible signs of fungal fruiting bodies at the time of inspection. There is a large cavity at ground level probed to 1m depth and 1.5m width originating between the buttress roots on the south side of the stem, located directly beneath the bifurcation, There is black staining within the cavity. As this cavity is large and at ground level there are significant forces acting on this area. We would recommend that the crown of the tree is crown reduced by up to 3.5m in height and 3m lateral spread in order to reduce the lever forces on the stem and reduce the chances of complete failure from the base/bifurcation reducing the risk posed to adjacent property. Current height 20m finished height 16.5m. Current spread N8m E7m S8m W8, finished radial spread approximately 5m.

AMMENDED SPECIFICATION T3: T1 Beech by the garage. Fell to ground level , Suffering with Meripilus for several years now this tree has been previously reduced and is showing signs of dieback in the upper crown. Tree located in a high target area and is of high risk. Very limited management options. T2: Beech closest to house. Fell to 3m stump . This had a large clump of Meripilus fruiting bodies to the base of the tree this year and has also been suffering with this for serval years. It is a very large tree and would almost certainly fall on the house if it were to fail at the bottom. Limited management options T3: Beech adjacent to the lane: this has a significant Ganoderma fungal bracket at the base. With the other two trees removed its environment and wind loading will be significantly altered. Reduce crown by up to 2m to reduce lever and compensate for the removal of the other trees.
