  This application is to FELL T1 - a mature Horse Chestnut Tree which is situated in our back garden. We have already been granted permission for a crown reduction and lift due to the tree being too large for its current area, the limbs are encroaching on the house and the chimney stacks. The tree is dropping a lot of deadwood which is a concern as we have young children. However, upon closer inspection from 4 independent professional tree surgeons their unanimous opinion is that the tree is unfortunately in poor health with multiple decay issues and so it should be felled. The following is the opinion of one of the professionals that inspected the tree (which is consistent with the other's views). "The Horse Chestnut (T1) has a co-dominant stem with visual signs of decay to a major butress root and also rot at the base of the tree. Also, there are two fungal brackets feeding off deadwood and possibly the heartwood. These are Oyster Fungus (Pleurotus Ostreatus) and Chicken of the woods (Laetiporus Sulphureus). The tree is also showing Bleeding Canker at aproximately 25ft. In my opinion this tree is in poor health and in slow decline. Taking into consideration the location of the tree I would advise to remove it on the grounds of saftey".
