1no. Ash (T1) - Fell. Major basal decay to North side. Dead stem to East side currently broken at base, leaning onto T2 Ash. Major stem decay on single stem to West side. Cavity within main union to East side. Tree in poor shape & form. High risk of stem/whole tree failure, properties, general public & gardens within striking distance of tree. Replacement tree to be planted. 1no. Ash (T2) - Crown reduce back to points of previous reduction. Height reduced to 15m, crown spread reduced to 7m. Works will manage tree in height & spread within limited space behind No.6 & 7. Due to removal of T1, T2 is suppressed & has naturally grown towards light to North side, leading to an asymmetric & poorly shaped canopy spread, high risk of of branch failure within this setting, general public, gardens within striking distance. No pruning wounds to exceed 50mm in dia.
