  Various Remove dead and dying sections of hedge thought to be infected with Honey fungus and grind out roots to prevent further spread. Remove other small dead trees on site and grind roots. Fell section of ivy covered trees (one has collapsed) and grind roots. Grind out old stumps to prevent Honey Fungus. Fell group of over mature Plum trees near to the neighbour's pavillion/stable block/wall/swimming pool. Potential for future failures with decay in main branch forks. Grind stumps. Replacement plant removed hedge sections with double row of mixed Hawthorn and Buckthorn 40-60cm whips. Over mature Weeping Ash does have an inonotus hispidus bracket indicating branch heartwood decay with wood pecker holes and other cavities. This tree appears to have been reduced recently so I am inclined to retain this as a feature tree of high visual amenity. There is also a mature Horse Chestnut to the front, recently competently and sensitively reduced, probably due to the bleeding canker issue so no furthe works required within the next 5 years.

  Ash (T2 of TPO 09/2019) - Reduce back crown over single storey block D4 by a maximum of 4m at its widest point (work mainly relates to over extended limbs over roof). Reduce back low branches over the roof to create 3m clearance. Cutback branches from front of the adjacent building (D6) to create 2-3m clearance. To help balance the crown, reduce remaining crown by approx. 2m. To avoid altering the balance of the tree as a whole, the crown of the tree should be reduced in proportion to its original shape. All pruning cuts must be made at branch junctions, leaving sufficient live growth to maintain or enhance crown form.
