  Leyland cypress T1 - Single stem. Located directly against and partially within the fabric of an old stone boundary wall on the south side of the property. Description of works: Fell the tree to as near ground level as practicable. Remove arisings from site. Stump to be left in situ initially to avoid destabilising the wall; further removal only once wall stability is assessed. Reasons for works: The tree has grown in direct contact with, and is now structurally integrated into, the boundary wall. Progressive radial expansion of the stem and buttress roots is causing displacement of masonry, loss of mortar, and localised distortion of the wall. If retained, continued growth will exacerbate structural damage and increase the likelihood of partial wall failure. The tree?s position immediately adjacent to the building restricts safe long-term management and prevents proportionate pruning options. Due to species characteristics (fast growth, large ultimate size, high sail area), cyclical pruning would not resolve the underlying structural conflict with the wall. Felling is therefore required to prevent further damage to the wall and to maintain the safety of the adjacent property and public access.
