1no. Oak (T4C) - Tip reduction of distal branches to an even canopy spread of 4m & reshape to form a natural dome shaped canopy as far as reasonable considering the form of the tree & its coastal position. Reason: to reduce the potential for branch failure & to improve form of the tree. Following site visit on the 28th August 2025, fungal fruiting body Laetiporus sulphureus is evident & causing a brown rot of the stem potentially, principal branches. Reduction works appropriate to reduce the risk of structural failure & to seek the retention of the tree in the landscape.
