  T1 Silver Maple - Fell to ground level. T2 Poplar - Fell to ground level. T3 Sycamore - Fell to ground level. T4 Silver Maple - Fell to ground level. T5 Cherry - Fell to ground level. T6 Silver Maple - Fell to ground level. T7 Field Maple - Selective crown reduction - Reduce the one large, over-extended limb by up to 3.5 metres. Reduce the remaining growth extending over the fences by up to 1.5 metres, and remove all deadwood from the crown. Reasons for Works: T1 & T6: Both trees have decay pockets at the base with multiple entry points. There is evidence that these have coalesced, compromising the structural integrity of the trees and rendering them unsuitable for retention. T2: There is evidence of suspected Sesia apiformis, consistent with the numerous exit holes around the base of the tree. In addition, there appears to be browsing damage around the majority of the basal area. As a result, decay has developed at the base of the tree, making it unsuitable for retention. T3: The tree is in a terminal state of decline, having already shed approximately half of its upper crown. There are a number of unidentified fungal brackets present within the upper canopy; however, due to their location they cannot be clearly identified. Given the tree's condition and the presence of a regularly used garden path beneath, the tree is no longer suitable for retention. T5: Historic basal failure has led to the onset of decay, and retention of the tree is no longer practical. T7: The tree has historic limb failure with a large decay pocket extending down the stem. The proposed works are to reduce end weight and minimise the risk of further failure and potential damage to the horse stable below.

  T1 - Lime tree T2 - Lime tree T3 - Ash tree T1 - Lime tree: just on your left as you have entered the main gate and passed the lodge. The tree was reduced at the top a few years ago after a branch wrote off the car stationed at the lodge. Again the tree dropped another big branch nearly killing the tenant. I want the tree removed. T2 - Lime tree - almost dead. T3 - Ash tree - leaning dangerously over the drive. Remarks:

  Tree 1 London plane - Requires crown lift of the small diameter branches above the front car park and near to the main entrance to the theatre. Ideally 5 metre clearance is required for delivery vehicles and coaches. Small diameter branches that are close to the building need pruning to give 2 metre clearance. Remove deadwood from higher up and inspect the tree for signs of hollowing or disease.

  (T2) Ash - Requires crown lift of the small diameter branches above car park to provide 5 metre clearance for delivery and waste collection vehicles. Small diameter branches close to the building need pruning to give a 2 metre clearance to help prevent damage to the sloped roof. Remove deadwood. (T3) Horse chestnut - Requires crown lift of the small diameter branches above car park area to give a 4 metre clearance for cars and vans. Remove deadwood. (T4) Ash - Originally listed as a Willow tree by mistake. Requires pollarding at suitable point at approximately 3 metres above ground level. The tree has good regrowth lower down and is ideal for this procedure.
