26/00786/TW - Tree Works (Five Day Notice) Approved

Proposal

**5 DAY NOTICE** T1: Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) - Failed limb to be processed and removed. The remaining tree is to be removed to ground level. Reason: Had a limb fail which is being held in place by adjacent holm oak on the edge of a slope, above the property and driveway. Main tree has decay, large woodpecker holes (indicating soft wood), large bracket fungi present on the stem which is likely affecting the structural integrity and without action, increases the likelihood of additional failures.
