    T1&T2 - 2 x Beech - fell to ground level leaving the beech trees directly behind. Client is worried about the trees in striking distance of the house in high winds etc. Her mother lives with them and doesn't sleep in high winds due to fears of the trees. They are willing to replant further back from the house. They won't cause impact due to trees directly behind within metres. Also it will help massively with light issues into the garden and house as trees have out grown the garden. Also straight stem with no branches until around 30ft as tree behind has a lower canopy. Tight forks within canopy bottling due to weight.

    TPO760 T50 Mature oak tree has died. We request permission to remove all branches to just leave the main trunk. Over recent years the tree has been progressively later to come into leaf and earlier to lose its' leaves than the adjacent mature oak. This year the tree has not produced any leaves at all. A local tree surgeon, Tom from T's Trees has inspected the tree and does not believe the tree trunk to be hollow. Photo2 shows damage around the trunk, which may be related to the tree's death. This damage was there when the current owners moved in.
