  T1 - Eucalypt (Fell) Reason for Removal: The tree is growing within a confined raised bed, providing insufficient space for future root plate expansion. This constraint has already resulted in structural interaction with the retaining wall, indicating ongoing and likely progressive damage. A fruitbody of Spectacular Rustgill (Gymnopilus junonius) was noted at the base, suggesting possible decay activity within the root zone. Given the tree's position adjacent to the driveway and pedestrian access, the combination of restricted rooting environment, structural pressure on built features, and potential root decay presents an unacceptable risk to vehicles and pedestrians. Removal is therefore recommended.

  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.
