T1: Mature Sycamore: DBH approx 50cm. Height approx 14m. This tree appears in good physiological condition. However there are two serious concerns related to this tree. The first issue is potential root plate movement. The residents have informed me that they believe that the tree rootplate has shifted since the heavy winter storms of 2025. While I had no means to compare with previous position of root plate, my examination of the area in question in July 2026 showed signs that the root plate has indeed likely shifted. Due to this trees close proximity to a family home (less than 10 metres distance) on one side and a fairly busy road to it's east, this tree poses a potential risk of harm/damage to property, and highway. Recommendation: Dismantle to ground level. , T2: Mature Ash: DBH 50cm approx. Height 18m. This tree shows fair to poor vigour. While signs of ash dieback are low (I would categorise it at ADB Stage 2). However, this tree has developed a phototropic lean towards the road with leggy growth while situated on a slope. Therefore some maintenance would be recommended to manage it's size and risk due to lean. Recommendation: Reduce by 2 to 3 metres in height and lateral growth over road. , T3: Mature sycamore: DBH approx 40cm. Height approx 14m. This tree appears in good habit and vigour and structurally no issues. However, the resident would like to manage it's height in order to keep this small garden maintained adequately. Recommendation: Reduce height by 2m. , Green waste arisings: All branches under 5inch diameter to be chipped and removed from site. Logs to be kept by customer for personal usage. Pruning works will be carried out using the standard guidance of BS3998:2010. ,
