Proposal
Oak G1, T1, T2 - Fell Although formally assessed as Elevated Risk, the progressive nature of the ground failure means the risk is increasing and should be treated as approaching Critical. No alternative management options (such as pruning or monitoring) can address the underlying loss of ground stability. Felling is therefore the only reasonable and proportionate measure to reduce risk to an acceptable level in accordance with NTSG guidance and duty-holder obligations under UK health and safety legislation.
