Proposal
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...

02/2/23 Remove both trees to as close to ground level as reasonably practical. T001 displays evidence of basal movement with loose soil around the root plate and leans towards a building. Both trees exhibit historic limb failure, elongated exposed stems, and poor structural form within a mature group setting. Please see the attached report for a more detailed Description of Works.

T1 Pine (first tree of group) - Fell as close to ground level as possible due to poor form - The tree is one-sided with lateral branches extending only to the SW due to a restricted growth pattern as part of a group. Now left at increased wind exposure following the removal of 2 neighbouring pines from 26b Wrottesley Road in 2021. The site is currently being developed, there was found to be a buried brick structure at least 2m deep within the rooting area of T1 which will have impeded the root development, there is very limited lateral root structure in the South-Western direction, which is also the direction of the crown growth.

Re-roof of the tiled section of our property. The existing membrane has completely decayed and no longer water-tight. I have had the roof and loft inspected by a builder and there is a substantial risk of water ingress. We therefore intend to re-roof the property and have a new breathable membrane installed.
