T1 Ash - Selectively reduce the overextended subdominant limb displaying a wound and suspected Inonotus fruiting body by up to 4.5 metres to reduce end weight and loading on the compromised limb, thereby reducing the likelihood of failure. G2 Elm & Mulbery - Fell both trees to ground level, as both are in a terminal state of decline and are no longer considered suitable for continued retention. T3 Sycamore - Reduce the lowest, most overextended limb by up to 2.5 metres, pruning back into the natural crown line. The objective of these works is to reduce the lever-arm effect and associated loading on the stem, while helping to improve the overall balance of the tree in relation to its existing lean. G6 Heavily Ivy clad trees x2 - Fell both trees to ground level, as both are in a terminal state of decline and are no longer considered suitable for continued retention. T7 Poplar - Fell the tree to ground level, as the tree is windblown and currently suspended within an adjacent tree. T8 Goat Willow - Fell the tree to ground level, as the tree is windblown and currently suspended within an adjacent tree. T9 Silver birch - Fell the tree to ground level, as the tree has declined and is now standing dead. T11 Ash - Remove the low, partially failed limb back to the main stem. G12 - Holly x3 and Dead Birch - Fell both trees to ground level, as all are in a terminal state of decline and are no longer considered suitable for continued retention. T13 Elm - Fell both trees to ground level, as tree is in a terminal state of decline and is no longer considered suitable for continued retention. T15 Scots Pine - Fell both trees to ground level, as tree is in a terminal state of decline and is no longer considered suitable for continued retention. G16 Larch x2 - Taller of the Two Trees – Fell – Fell the tree to ground level, due to extensive suspected hollowing at the base, indicated by sounding with a mallet during inspection. Smaller Tree – Deadwood Removal – Remove deadwood oversailing the field entrances to maintain suitable clearance and reduce the likelihood of branch failure. T17 Ash - Fell to ground level, due to extensive suspected hollowing at the base, indicated by sounding with a mallet and prob during inspection. T18 Ash - Height Reduction / Retrenchment – Reduce the height of the tree to just above the point of the previously failed limb, at approximately 8 metres above ground level. The objective of these works is to retrench the tree into a shorter, more compact form, reducing overall loading and making it more suitable for future retention.
