Front Garden Tree 1 – Ash (Fraxinus spp.) Pollard the Ash tree located on the right-hand side of the front boundary - to be pollarded back to the previous pollard points (approximately 1 metre at maximum). Remove all major deadwood. This is to maintain good tree health and management. Back Garden Tree 2 – Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) Fell the Holm Oak to ground level due to extensive damage caused by the tree's root system to the adjacent brick boundary wall. Photographic evidence of the damage is included within the attachment. The extent of the structural damage indicates that retaining the tree is not a reasonable option, as the roots are continuing to compromise the integrity of the boundary wall. Drill and treat the stump with an approved herbicide to prevent regrowth and encourage decomposition. Tree 3 – Apple (Malus spp.) Reduce the crown by approximately 1 metre and carry out a 50% crown thinning. Remove all major deadwood. Prune and reshape the crown to improve the tree's form and ongoing management. This is to maintain good tree health and management
