Council sourceT1/T2 - Acer pseudoplatanus (Sycamore) - Fell - We propose to fell these two trees as sooty bark disease has spread through to the trunk and the tree is at risk of failing in an area where visitors regularly access. T3 - Fraxinus excelsior (Ash) - Fell - We propose to fell this tree due to the deep rot at the base of the tree. This tree is at risk of failing in an area where visitors regularly access. T4 - Fraxinus excelsior (Ash) - Reduction of the canopy up to 5 meters - We propose to reduce the canopy due to evidence of prolonged root plate lifting and the severity of the lean.

A1 (Does fall outside the conservation area) - Acer pseudoplatanus (Sycamore) - Fell multiple - We propose to fell all trees affected in there trunk by sooty bark disease.
