  The mixed broad-leafed woodland that the client manages has number of ash trees with all stages of ash dieback. The trees are very tall and near houses at the bottom of the woods. The best option would be to take out all the Ash trees leaving the other broad leaf species to strive. All procedures would be carried out to the BS3998 and dismantling would be done out of nesting season. Please see photo attached of works to be carried out.

  T 030 - Multiple stemmed lapsed sycamore coppice. Growing on bank bordering road and in striking distance of third party properties to the north and south. Two primary stems to the north have been pollarded down to 3m. The eastern most stem has since died with large area of bark necrosis at 1.5m - 3m. The northern most stem which has had a primary limb pollarded is in severe decline with bark necrosis to the north at 2m. If the two stems are removed the remaining canopy will be biased totaly to the south and west and will be open to additional wind loading. Recommendations - Pollard to level already established, approximately 3m. Please see report excerpt for photos.
