  T1 - Wild Cherry: Fell to ground level Reason: T1 is a mature tree growing to the rear of the property. The trees two trunks lean towards the rear elevation of the property. Fungal fruiting bodies of Laetiporus sulphureus (Chicken of the Woods) are present at the base of the tree. The presence of decay at the base of the tree and the lean of the trunk towards the residential property means that T1 (Cherry) poses an unacceptable risk to property and can no longer be safely retained in this location.
