Report any defects and/or concerns resulting from the aerial inspection to CwT, using photographic evidence to support the findings - All arisings to be removed from site unless otherwise specified. All works to be implemented in accordance with BS 3998/2010 "Tree work - Recommendations" where applicable. As the subject tree is protected by a tree preservation order, any tree works, other than removal of deadwood or urgent safety works, will require a written application to the local planning authority.
