  T1 (T69) - Himalayan Birch - Crown lift to 3.0 metres. Description: Good quality specimen tree with high public visibility & amenity. Reason: Multi-stemmed specimen with an asymmetrical crown due to competition with neighbouring tree (since removed).

Description: Poor quality specimens with no public visibility & no amenity. Reason: Suppressed group of self-sown trees, significant directional lean towards north, unlikely to reach full maturity, prescribed works will provide room for neighbouring better quality Hornbeam (T3) to fully develop. Works will improve light penetration to the rear of the property. Tree works are in accordance with good arboricultural management. T3 (W1) - Hornbeam - Crown lift to 4.0 metres, removal of major deadwood. Description: Good quality specimen tree with high public visibility & amenity.
