Works required: Front Garden: - X2 LILAC (behind garages) - Secondary pollard to previous points, reducing overall height by up to 2 meters. - LILAC & PYRACANTHA (adjacent to house on right hand boundary) Remove ivy to ground level, reduce and reshape the trees all round by approximately 1.5 meters, to reduce overhang near the roof of the bungalow. - Acer (adjacent to the house, near the footpath) - Thin crown 20% and reduce laterals in line with the path boundary - Cherry Tree (adjacent to front door) - Reduce and reshape to points of last reduction (approx 1 meter) and remove existing deadwood. Back Garden: - Magnolia - Reduce height and laterals by up to 1.5 meters and reshape so stop the tree encroaching on the building line, and thin crown by up to 20%.

Reason for Works The tree has shown signs of declining health and has recently shed several large limbs. This may be associated with the presence of multiple large bracket fungi, which could indicate significant internal decay and structural deterioration. Due to the tree’s location within close proximity to three small residential gardens, there is an increased risk of harm or damage should further limbs or sections of the tree fail. Crown reduction is not considered an appropriate solution given the suspected extent of decay and potential structural weakness. The proposed works are therefore considered necessary to address the potential safety risk.
