Tree Preservation Order EL:94/11 - Eucalyptus Gunnii (T1, EL:94/11) needs to be removed due to fungal growth and consequent root rot. It is approx. 30m tall on a sloping site and is 6m from an inhabited building and 4m from the driveway at 1 Beaconsfield Gardens. Its position on the boundary also poses a risk to the building and driveway at 3 Beaconsfield Gardens. It has been assessed by three professionals who have noted obvious decay by fungi with no treatment possible. The decay has, in the last few months, progressed noticeably more quickly and has now spread 2m up the trunk; work has therefore become more urgent. Replanting another tree in this position would be likely to incur future risk to the neighbouring buildings so is unfortunately not recommended. Work would be as follows: Remove the large Eucalyptus tree that is showing root decay and has started to rot at the base. The tree will be safely lowered and the large timber removed using a grab lorry. Track mats will be provided to protect the driveway and surrounding area.
