23 Foxfield Way Oakham Rutland LE15 6PR
Fell 1 no. Swedish White Beam. The tree is between 18 - 21 metres high and has been confirmed as dangerous by two arboriculturists. Due to the current and ongoing level of disease (with either kretzschmaria or King Alfreds cake) the tree has developed several cracks of between 1-1.3 metres up the trunk, large holes at the base of the trunk (which is hollow), and a large hole about 3.5 metres up the trunk. It has been confirmed it will fall as a result of the condition it is now in, this tree is a clear and imminent risk to property and life due to its location and level of disease.

3B Great Lane Greetham Rutland LE15 7NG
(T1) 1 no. Beech tree overhanging neighbouring property on opposite side of the stream. There is one lateral which is standing a long way proud of all surrounding foliage. Preference is to completely remove this limb back to a branch collar pruning cut on the main stem as shown by the purple line but if the council strongly opposes the complete removal then a heavy reduction back to the red lines shown will give the best crown rebalance whilst retaining that limb.
