T1 - Beech: Remove due to extensive basal decay. T1 of Tree Preservation Order. Do not plant new replacement tree (as young Field Maples have been planted adjacent to the subject tree. It is felt that these, and the adjacent mature Beech on neighbouring land, provide sufficient tree cover for a garden of this size and any additional tree planting will be detrimental to the development of the young trees.)
