    Willow (T1) - Tree is growing in close proximity to a brick wall and has started to cause structural damage (see pic). It is also close to a neighbouring structure causing light issues. Although canopy reduction may solve the light issues it will not prevent further damage to wall. Remove and replant a native tree in a better location.

    Works to a tree in a conservation area:T1 - Large Robinia tree. Tree is unstable and has had a limb fall to the floor on the ground on the 30th of August 2023. Remaining tree is unstable, although could be removed to 1m and allow to regenerate. As there is a mature Sycamore directly behind this tree, I recommend for the tree to be removed to ground level and poison stump to prevent any regrowth.
