  T1 - Sycamore: The tree has a narrow fork with included bark between the main stems. Branches within the crown show bark stripping consistent with squirrel damage, leaving areas of exposed wood. Deadwood is also lodged within the crown. Felling is proposed due to concerns about the structural condition of the main fork and damaged branches, taking into account the tree's position beside the garden access steps and the potential consequences of falling material for people using this area. The tree is not visible from public viewpoints. T2 - Sycamore: The tree occupies a restricted rooting area adjacent to the wall. Its size and position raise concerns about its anchorage and the potential for whole-tree overturning. Failure of the root plate could displace the adjoining masonry and potentially cause the wall to collapse. Felling is proposed to address these concerns. The tree is not visible from public viewpoints. A Tree Preservation Order was made in 1973. The current dimensions of T1 and T2 suggest they became established after that date; these trees proposed for felling can be considered under a Section 211 conservation-area notification.
