Council sourceT1 - Oak - Remove to ground level - REASON - The trees roots are causing damage to the property. Adj. fence posts have been distorted so the panels do not fit. Large cracks have appeared in a concrete pad located directly under the tree, this used to be the base for a summer house that has recently been removed due to damage from the tree. A recently built retaining wall has cracked this summer and the block paving at the rear of the house has sunk - All believed to be caused by the roots of T1.
