T1 - Horse Chestnut - Fell in sections to ground level and grind out the stump. At present the tree shows signs and symptoms of the disease Bleeding canker, i.e. weeping lesions on the main stem and primary scaffold limbs with a rusty appearance. Historic occluded strip wounds are present around the circumference of the main stem from ground level up to 1.5m, indicating that the disease has been established for many years. The tree also suffers with horse chestnut leaf miner, causing the leaves to prematurely wither and drop during the summer months. The surface roots on the south side of the tree are causing superficial cracks in the concrete driveway of No.1 Copelands Close leading towards the house, indicating direct damage caused by the incremental root growth of the tree's roots below the driveway. It is proposed that the tree is replaced with small native species that can help to replace the loss of amenity and canopy cover caused by the removal of this tree, such as a rowan.
