FRONT: ONE Pyracantha (S2)(ht.5.5m) FELL. Reason: to mitigate structural issue at no.8, no site investigation reports.REAR: ONE Honey Locust (T1)(ht.12-14m) FELL. Reason: to mitigate structural issue at no.8, no site investigation reports.Informative A: retention of the Honey Locust T1 (Gleditsia) is encouraged to enable site investigation reports to be undertaken to establish if vegetation removal is justified. Gleditsia is in the NHBC low water demand tree list. Also the house cracks are described as category 2, slight, and small cracks are usually managed with redecoration. There also appears to be no consideration that the property is at a low point in the road where rainfall runoff from Hilly Fields collects and is likely to be a contributory factor in ground conditions and foundation stability.Informative B: if the Honey Locust T1 (Gleditsia) is removed, replacement tree planting is encouraged with species from the NHBC low water demand list such as Gleditsia, Hazel, Mulberry, Laburnum, Elder, Fig, Holly, Birch to replace rear amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
