Development TypeNot used 

ProposalT12 - Thin the crown by 10% universally to increase light reaching the garden immediately south. - Reduce the southern aspect of the crown by 3m, leaving 4m from the stem, where conflict occurs with existing single-storey outbuilding. - Raise the southern aspect of the crown from 3m to 5m where it overhangs the aforementioned outbuilding T13 - Thin the crown by 10% universally to increase light reaching the garden immediately south. - Remove deadwood. - Remove lower branches with defects that are deemed to present a risk of failure (tree has been previously reduced and crown comprises weakly-attached regrowth. Several lower branches have potential hazard features, including decay at former side-branch fracture points). -Raise the southern aspect of the crown from 2.5m to 4m to achieve balance with T12. G2 - Remove cypress trees (T7, T9 and T10 and younger cypress not individually surveyed) from the ornamental garden group G2. T40 - Remove as a priority due to likely risk of failure. - Notes on condition from tree survey: sounding mallet confirms hollowing to the lower 1m of the stem. 0.6m probe disappears through basal cavity into lower stem, and up from cavity too - extensive, longstanding decay to lower stem. Dieback and decline to the crown. Stem leans to the south-west. Unidentified mushrooms to decayed wood material at base.
