View council mapT002. Oak tree - pollard. T003. Beech tree. Due to the site being exposed and tree's location being adjacent to road and footpath, the risk of harm will only increase in time due to the colonisation of kretzschmaria deusta fungus at base - fell immediately. Will replant new healthy beech tree approx. 2m high next to this but will closely monitor it to ensure that it grows straight and doesn't pose a threat to the public. T004. Beech tree. Heavily leaning beech biased towards road and pedestrian pavement. The tree has cracked and lifted pavement below opposite side to lean. In high winds it's possible to see the pavement move. If this beech fails the outcome could be significantly more serious. Adjacent tree has been recommended for felling which will leave this tree more exposed to prevailing winds. - fell immediately. Will replant new healthy beech tree approx. 2m high next to this but will closely monitor it to ensure that it grows straight and doesn't pose a threat to the public. T005. Scots pine tree - remove deadwood which may cause harm when falling. Remove built up soil level at base. T006. Oak tree. - remove deadwood which may cause harm when falling. Crown reduce by 2m. T007.
