Council planning record

T1-Oak. Fell due to presence of Pseudoinonotus dryadeus at the root collar. Timber integrity tested with a IML Resi PD400, and decay extent tested with a Fakopp Arborsonic 3D Acoustic tomograph, which showed the decay extent at ground level to be 58%. Given the height and location of the tree the tree should be removed on Health and Safety grounds. An extensive crown reduction/pollard is not recommended in this case, as the tree will ultimately fail and removal at the soonest time is advised. A 5 Day Notice has also been submitted to the council for the removal of the tree.
