T1-3 - Ash - pollard/reduce height and remove dead branches (Ash dieback). Reason: branches overhang public footpath and some have fallen already - branches >100 diameter. T4 - Ash - tree has multiple stems >200mm diameter, remove dead/limbs with Ash dieback (2x), remove large branch overhanging a shed - branch shows signs of rot at junction with main trunk. The trees are about 15m high and since they are showing ash dieback, we would like to take about 6 m off the height, and of course remove the diseased branches. We would be happy to take two of the trees down completely (the left & right ones) and replant field maple / lime / beech or crab apple which do well here.
