24 Station Road Waterbeach Cambridgeshire CB25 9HT
Large Leylandii conifer (rear garden) - Fell Reason - Tree has grown excessively and is now negatively impacting the surrounding environment, including suppressing the growth of nearby native trees. The tree is approximately twice the height of our house and is highly visible from multiple viewpoints, including Waterbeach Recreation Ground, which adjoins our boundary. Due to its size, dominance, and lack of ecological or visual benefit, we believe its removal is justified and necessary to improve the overall health and balance of the garden and surrounding area.

Recreation Ground, Tennis Courts Gog Magog Way Stapleford Cambridgeshire CB22 5BX
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.
