Tree A1 - dead tree. Orange arrow to show specific tree. Removal to ground level. Potentially under 14/2004 TPO. Tree A2 - fallen tree recently in high winds. Tree is dead. Removal to ground level. Potentially under 14/2004 TPO. Trees can be replanted in place - however there is a very large number of very large trees immediately surrounding the trees and they may struggle given the location of other trees or wider foliage which would need to be removed to allow for replanting.
