Works to tree in a conservation area: T1 - Large Ash tree at rear of garden. Tree has historically had a large limb snap from historic pollard point, which have been identified as being hollow and not structurally sound to be able to hold significant weight of the current growth. Also the neighbours Ash tree in the land to the rear has been pollarded and now the canopy is exposed to additional wind stress. Pollard to historic points.
