  T1, T2 and T3 Ash: Fell to near-ground level without stump grinding, as this would risk damaging the roots of neighbouring trees within the G1. The trees show symptoms consistent with Ash Dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus), including crown thinning, deadwood, and progressive structural decline. Several stems are heavily entangled with neighbouring trees, causing ongoing bark damage and creating points of infection and decay. The interlocking crowns prevent normal movement, increase mechanical stress, and raise the likelihood of partial or whole-tree failure within falling distance of the property boundary and adjacent structures. Given the combination of ADB infection, mechanical stress from entanglement, and progressive bark damage, removal is the proportionate measure to manage foreseeable risk in accordance with NTSG principles. Replacement planting is proposed as follows: Two native, small-to-medium trees will be planted within the garden boundary ? Field Maple (Acer campestre) and Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) ? each supplied in 10?12?L containers at a height of 1.5?1.75?m. Trees will be positioned to avoid conflict with buildings and the retained woodland canopy, staked and guarded, and maintained for a minimum of three years to ensure establishment.
