T1 - Sycamore: Kind notification of intent - tree is dead, recommending to fell to ground level. T2 - Acacia: Observations: An inspection on the stem of this tree was impossible due to being heavily clad in ivy. The tree leans out heavily from the woodland edge over an adjacent property, therefore needs reducing to reduce the leaning and also to stop the tree encroaching on another residents property. Recommendations: Crown reduction - reduce the height and spread of the tree by up to 3 metres. Some longer lateral branches may need reducing slightly more to balance. Sever 1 metre of ivy. T3 - Acacia: Observations: This tree is located close to the residents boundary fence, and is hanging heavily over the adjacent property. Upon inspection of this Acacia, a small cavity at the base was found. Should this tree fail in the upcoming bad weather, it would pose a danger to the adjacent property. Recommendations: Reduce the height by 4 metres and spread by up to 2 metres. Sever 1 metre of ivy.
