01 (Cherry): Clear the fallen Tree. The tree has suffered structural failure and is no longer viable for retention. 02 (Birch): Carefully fell to near ground level. The tree is dead and has no reasonable prospect of recovery. Removal is proposed on safety grounds to eliminate the risk of branch failure, or collapse. 03 (Box Elder): Remove the two limbs growing over the property. The works are proposed to provide adequate clearance from the building, prevent potential damage to the property. 04 (Ash): Remove the limb growing over the telephone cable to prevent contact with and potential damage to the communication infrastructure reducing the likelihood of service disruption and avoiding future conflicts between the tree and cable. 05 (Hazel): Remove deadwood greater than 25mm in diameter. This represents routine arboricultural maintenance to minimize the risk of injury or damage caused by falling dead branches whilst retaining the tree's overall health structure, and amenity value.
