(1) Acacia, in previous planning permissions identified as either Acacia or Robinia. Whole crown reduction to 4 m above ground level. The tree is in the corner of the property, on the corner of Westcombe Park Road and Foyle Road. It has three types of fungus growing on it, including one that could signal ill health of the tree. The top branches seem dry and unhealthy. We would like to preserve as much as possible of the tree, but would like to make sure it is safe (as branches reach out towards the sidewalk. We would only be able to comment on the health of the tree once works have commenced as it is not possible to gauge the health before cutting (as far as I understand). (2) Bay tree. We would like to reduce by 30%, because some of the branches are touching the building / windows, especially when it is windy.
