The tree in question for this application is the ash tree designated as T7 in TPO 105. However, in WildBirch Tree Consultancy - Tree Condition Report and Management Recommendations (WB-2026-020-R1), this same tree is identifed as T1.As concluded in WB-2026-020-R1, due to its size, proximity to adjacent structures, and the limited scale of the garden, the tree is considered unsuitable for long-term retention within the site. Consequently, the recommended works are to fell and potentially replace with a smaller more suitable species (section 5.14). It is recommended in section 5.15 that a smaller more suitable species (than ash) is planted that will not outgrow this site and that it is planted along the rear (south-western) boundary.Species suggestions are:? Field maple ?Elsrijk? (Acer campestre ?Elsrijk?)? Great white cherry (Prunus ?Tai Haku?)? Whitebeam 'Lutescens' (Sorbus aria ?Lutescens?)
