Proposal

TPO 145; T76: Sycamore - reduce height by 2-3m due to whole tree failure, extensive basal cavity on W side. T72: Sycamore - pollard to 5m from ground level due to decay in column from ground level to 1.6m on S side, cubicle white rot and large cavities present. T73: Lime - reduce height by 3m, suppression from neighbouring trees. T71: Sycamore - crown height reduction of up to 3m, due to proximity to buildings. T78: Horse Chestnut - reduce lowest limb on E side at 9m from ground level by 3-4m to improve form, reduce risk of limb failure due to lean from neighbouring suppression. T77: Sweet Chestnut - pollard to main union at 7m from ground level, fracture on lower co-dominate stem at 8m from ground level, secondary delamination causing twisting and stem droop. T81: Sycamore – crown height reduction of up to 3m, due to large decay, risk of failure into parking area. T79: Lucombe Oak - reduce by 1-2m, thin by 20%, growing beside historic wall and suppressing ornamental trees/shrubs. T68: Golden Monterey Cypress - fell, neighbouring property 3m to East side, crown damage, poor vitality. T80: Sycamore - reduce by 2-3m, extensive basal decay, suspected honey fungus.
