I have a maple tree in my garden within falling distance from the house which has a TPO approx 5 metres away, on one side of the tree it rapidly rotting it has got a lot worse throughout the winter, they is a hole on one side in the bark and there is over 20 slugs inside side where the bark is cracking and areas on the tree where the bark has changed where the branches are growing from the trunk looking like some rot disease. It got a very unhealthy appperance. It covered in moss higher up so I decided to contact harris trees, Colin inspected maple tree and said I needed to urgently get in contact with Surrey heath as it needs to be cut down. He said it's a danger with how close it is to the house ( approx 5 metres away)and the rotting and he is concerned it?s at major risk of falling. He said I need to make it an urgency to apply to remove the treeI am very concerned I live on my own my three young children , who play outside, it's a large tree so close to the house and the Neighbouring houses which are terraced houses I am concerned I need to cut this down to stop an accident Please get in contact, happy to be available as soon a possible for it be expected by Surrey health, they is another maple tree on my property just outside fence and it not rapidly rotting this one inside my fence.Thanks againREPLANTING CONDITION
