  Dismantle upper crown, reducing tree to a structure of around 9-10m above ground level (4?5m above height of main fork). Excerpt from Survey: Particularly tall sycamore dominating the edge of the woodland, growing upon a steep embankment. The tree was previously densely clad in ivy which has been severed and stripped, allowing a more thorough inspection. For many years the tree has been subject to progressive crown lifting which has resulted in raising the centre of gravity of its crown. Old unoccluded pruning wound at approximately 8m on the development side. Old wire hawser and screw in bolt type single cable brace installed at around 13m above ground which appeared highly taut. On the north eastern side of the trunk base (approximately bearing of 600),there is a localised cluster of perfect stage burnt crust fungus (Kretzschmaria deusta) within a slight fissure that was previously obscured by ivy growth. At the time of inspection, leaves were only recently expanded. Although vigour appears reduced, there was no obvious significant dieback since the previous assessment. A number of test drillings with a Resistograph were made around the base of the trunk to help ascertain the likely extent of internal decay. The first drilling D2 was made adjacent to the current fungal fruiting bodies at an approximate bearing of 600. This revealed extensive decay/cavity formation beyond 10cm. Drilling D3 was made into a slightly flared area of the trunk base at an approximate bearing of 1000 and revealed extensive decay beyond 18cm. Drilling D4 was made at an approximate bearing of 1500 and revealed extensive decay beyond 10cm penetration ahead of encountering a cavity triggering the auto needle retraction function of the drill. Test drilling D5 was made roughly due south at an approximate bearing of 1900. This revealed sound wood to a depth of 27cm and a cavity beyond. Drilling D6 was made at an approximate bearing of 2500 and showed advanced decay beyond 10cm, leading to...

  The trees in question are a group of mature Corsican pine situated adjacent to residential properties, private garden assets, and a public footpath. Following the catastrophic failure of a neighboring tree within this group in December 2025 which resulted in significant structural damage to an adjacent property the site conditions have fundamentally changed. Our professional assessment concludes that the remaining specimens now present an imminent, foreseeable risk of failure that exceeds all acceptable risk thresholds as defined by the Quantified Tree Risk Assessment (QTRA) methodology . T1 this tree displays signs of basal movement, characterised by compromised soil stability around the root plate. Coupled with an unbalanced, heavily weighted crown leaning towards an adjacent, recently built outbuilding, the tree represents a high-probability target threat. The outbuilding has high value and high occupancy from the homeowner as it is his personal gym and also nursery for his young child. The owner and his child regularly play in the garden too. T2 exhibits significant limb failure within the crown as there is a large, broken limb which is hanging within the crown waiting to fall. Both T1 and T2 demonstrate elongated, exposed stems and poor physiological form, which are exacerbated by their history of mechanical failure. The recent loss of an adjacent tree of same species and age has removed critical wind buffering. The remaining trees are now exposed to altered wind loading and increased mechanical stress, significantly accelerating the risk of further, unpredictable failures within the group. This is evidenced by the fact that every tree within the group shows evidence of limb failures either through hanging branches or branch stubs, some of which are very large and pose an immediate threat to the outbuilding and public who use the adjacent footpath. Following the recent failure event and our subsequent QTRA analysis, the trees have been categorised as fal...
