  Dangerous Tree We asked a tree surgeon to examine a large ash tree on our northern border with no. 20 High Street. This tree is the one with the large growth of ivy, not normally a problem but it acts like a huge sail in high winds. The tree trunk has started to sway noticeably (1 metre each way) when it is windy and is creaking ominously. The tree surgeon Simon Stevenson discovered that the trunk is rather hollow and rotten and is home to oyster fungus. So as an urgent safety matter we are proposing to remove the tree before we and / or our neighbours to the south at no. 16 get the full benefit when it falls over and demolishes various sheds / people etc. The tree surgeons will need to secure the tree while they are doing their aerial work, I think by roping it to sound large trees around the tree being cut down. I guess this will mean tying it to a couple of Jamie Buchanan's trees at no. 20 to prevent the tree falling southwards when the chaps are working up high. I know that the normal planning process takes six weeks. In this case I ask you to approve the emergency removal of this tree as a priority before we have damage to people and property.

  T25 - Beech - Reduce the height of the tree by approximately 2 metres and reduce the lateral spread by approximately 2 metres through the selective shortening of suitable branch growth, whilst retaining the tree's natural form and main crown framework. Reason - The works are recommended to reduce end weight on the lateral limbs and help mitigate the risk of branch failure associated with summer branch drop. The tree is situated within a public area adjacent to the highway, where there is a significant risk to pedestrians and passing vehicles should branch failure occur. 3x limbs have failed causing significant damage to the SW side of the tree.

  45 Mingle Lane Stapleford Cambridgeshire CB22 5SY

  T1 - Ash - Remove to ground level. Reason - Ash Dieback is present and is starting to show via the accumulation of dead smaller diameter branches throughout the crown. Alongside the dieback Inonotus is present on a secondary limb which extends towards the garage of 45 Mingle Lane. Another suspected area of fungal fruiting activity can be seen on an old pruning point at approximately 7 metres on the main leader. Throughout the crown structure there are multiple cavities, details from the arborist has confirmed that the upper section where the cavities are located significant hollowing has started to occur. At approximately 7 metres the main leader divides into two main leaders with woodpecker holes located at 10 metres. This area has been subject to an aerial inspection by the arborist and this section has deemed to be compromised due to the level of dysfunction.
