T1 is an Ash tree, affected by die back displaying typical signs of ash die back, with vertical epicormic shoots, and in a poor condition due to loss of large diseased branches. This tree is surrounded by other healthy mature trees including lime and copper beech, and smaller specimen trees below, which are being damaged by the falling debris. T2 is an Ash tree affected by die back, also typical epicormic shoot signs and recently multiple broken limbs. This tree is adjacent to a footpath.T3 is a Horse Chestnut, badly affected by canker and now in a very poor state. During the latest storms two huge limbs have fallen off, and the main trunk is rotten and split.All three trees have been retained as long as safely possible but they now have a very poor appearance and we are concerned about safety in view of the auto amputation of large limbs.The proposal is to safely fell and dispose of all three trees. We have many remaining trees and so the overall aesthetics of the area will be maintained, indeed improved by the removal of the diseased T1, T2, T3
