Description

T1; English Oak - Fell to ground level. Reason: Extensive stem decay with significant loss of structural integrity at the lower stem, predominantly affecting one side of the trunk. The remaining crown mass is biased away from the area of decay, resulting in an unfavourable load distribution across the stem. Due to its condition and position within a regularly used domestic garden, the tree presents an elevated risk of structural failure. Replacement planting is proposed with a suitable species (e.g. Field Maple) within the garden to maintain amenity value.
