  T1 - ASh Fraxinus Excelsior This is a group of 5 small ash trees. They are self-seeded in the boundary hedge. They are growing over the property and starting to touch the roof. The crowns are looking sparse and showing signs of ash dieback. The car park is busy with people visiting residients and as the ash trees die they wll becombe dangerous. If one failed could cause injury or damage to properties. We would like to dismantle the trees to ground level and let the hedge grow in their place to keep the green aesthetics for both residents and neighbours.
