T1 on the sketch is a Cypress. It has died. The photo shows the brown colour of the foliage. It crumbles to the touch. It is now a significant fire risk. The proposal is to remove it. A replacement in the same place is not proposed - I suspect a combination of the Acer close beside it competing for water coupled with recent hot dry summers has dried it out, and a new tree would share the same fate. No work is proposed for the other trees T2, T3, T4.

Thorn tree fallen over and leaning on adjacent oak tree over path (Dysart Rise). The tree is large (+ 30cm DBH) and tall (+10m) but I cannot comment on how wide it is as it is hung up and needs to come down. There are some adjacent thorn trees that should also be pollarded that are similarly very tall and at high risk of also failing.
