Proposal
G5 - Scots Pine - The tree has a major fork at 9.5m and a major zig zag branch above this height. The tree appears structurally sound and little could be removed from the tree without significant loss of amenity. Remove deadwood. T7 - Cherry - The tree is one sided due to adjacent holly. A large low branch to the east is fine. The tree forks at 4.0 cm. A smaller branch with a tight lesion and possible included bark overhangs the drive and should be removed to reduce risk. *Agreed to remove branch. G5 - Austrian Pine - The tree has a three way fork at 8.0m. One very large branch over hangs the adjacent property. The branch looks secure but would do considerable damage were it to fail. Remove deadwood and consider removal of overhanging branch. *Reduce to ¿ metre clearance from roof. Thin by 20% shorten by 2/3m only G5 - Austrian Pine - The tree has a three way fork at 8.0 m. One large low branch overhangs the neighbour's garden. Remove deadwood. G5 - Austrian Pine - A good even crown slightly one sided in the lower part. No forks. Remove the deadwood. G5 - Austrian Pine The tree has a major fork at 9.0m remove the deadwood. G5 - Austrian Pine - The tree has a tight fork with possible included bark between 1.5 and 2.5m. It will cause little damage should it fail. The tree has a further fork and stem kink at 9.0 m. Remove deadwood. G5 - Scots Pine - The main stem is vertical but then has a severe stem kink at 8.0 m and is overtopped by tree T 7. The tree grows over the garden from 8.0 m. Remove deadwood. G5 - Austrian Pine - The tree has a major fork at 9.0m A significant low branch over the neighbours garden appears secure. Remove snapped branch and deadwood including the large branch over the garden. G5 - Austrian Pine - The tree forks at 10.0 m the large branch over the neighbour's garden appears secure. Remove deadwood. G5 - Austrian Pine - The tree has a large stem cavity on the east side at 6.0m that should be inspected aerially. The cavity looks old and it is likely that the tree has compartmentalised the decay. The tree is one sided due to T-10. Remove deadwood. * Agreed to raise canopy when deadwooding. G5 - Beech - The tree has a major fork at 2.0m with one stem growing over the neighbour's garden. Small branch ends have been historically pruned.
