5 Day Notice Removal of dead and heavily decayed pollard which has not regrown. Tree is a significant danger to the care home users, visitors and staff.

T1 Mature Horse Chestnut situated on the East boundary of the property - To be pollarded to match the height of the adjacent pollarded Horse Chestnut at approximately 10-12m back to appropriate pruning/pollard points within the trees crown. (As identified with attached photo) Reason: Tree has previously been topped with maturing regrowth on an old tree in an exposed location within the property garden.

There are several Bay tree trunks that have become potentially dangerous in my opinion and they have moved at an angle and are now leaning against the stone wall bordering my garden and the pavement,and one is across my car port .I have cut the smaller branches to one of them which was overhanging the pavement,as it seemed worse than the rest, to reduce the weight and further wind damage and I have tied it back as shown in an attached photo.There are also photos of the base of a couple of the trees which show large gaps where the trunks has moved from.I have also included another photo of a dead trunk in the same vicinity which I also wish to remove.
