    Tree Species: Holm Oak (Quercus ilex)- Location: Tree is circled in red on both plan (Ref 1. - 101 Grove Park Holm Oak Removal - Plan) and image (Ref 2. - 101 Grove Park Holm Oak Removal - Image).

Description of works: Complete removal of tree (reduction, leaving a 30cm stump). Reason: The tree is too large for the garden and the roots are causing damage to a boundary fence.

Replacement: winter-flowering cherry 'Autumnalis Rosea'
