    Common Ash (1864) is diseased and remaining limb is leaning over properties. Needs felling. Sycamore (1863) has a large basal cavity. Reducing by 50% preserve as much of the tree as possible. Due to previous works that have been carried out on this tree, this will leave it as a 2m standing stem. Common Ash (1876) has major deadwood over path and allotment sites. Requires deadwood removal

    1883 - Ash Tree: Shown on map. Seems to be in decline potentially Ash Die Back but too early to diagnose. Western sides seems to be in recreation with lots of large dead wood throughout canopy. Eastern side is strongest with strongest limb but is very weighted towards that one limbs side. Application to remove deadwood down to 3 cm in circumference, due to regression on Western side, reduce canopy on eastern side by 20% to balance tree as limb has heavy lean towards residential home. Happy to meet on site assessed by myself Town Council qualified tree surveyor.

    T1 - Lime: Inside Car Park Area. Re-pollard to old points. The proposed works would not reduce the amenity value of the tree and will allow sustainable tree management in the long term. The works are part of a regular maintenance program to retain the tree at a suitable size of its location.
