Proposal
T1 Is A dead Magnolia Grandiflora It appears to have been planted a few years ago as a semi mature specimen. Unfortunately it has died as seen in the pic I think the most likely cause was that it was planted too deep. The proposal is to remove the dead magnolia and replace it with a similar all be it small multi stemmed silver birch to T2. S2 is a Laurus nobilis No other works proposed the other trees marked for identification purposes only
