T1 Lime Removal. On the grounds that the tree is causing damage to the neighbouring wall and is physically encroaching into a residents garden. These issues raise concerns regarding the protection of neighbouring property, the ongoing impact on the residents enjoyment and use of their garden, and the potential for further damage if the tree is retained. The trees proximity to the boundary and its apparent impact on the neighbouring wall suggest that its continued retention may be causing an unreasonable level of interference with the adjacent property. If the damage is ongoing, retaining the tree could result in further deterioration and increased repair costs. Removal would eliminate the source of the encroachment and allow the affected wall and boundary area to be repaired and maintained without continued interference from the tree. Furthermore, the trees encroachment into a residents garden affects the residents ability to enjoy and use their outdoor space without obstruction. The impact on neighbouring amenity and property should therefore be given due consideration when assessing whether the tree remains suitable for retention in its current location. On balance, removal of T1 Lime should be considered a reasonable and proportionate solution, subject to confirmation of the damage, the extent of the encroachment and an assessment of any alternative management options. Where the damage cannot be adequately resolved through pruning or other arboricultural measures, removal may be the most effective long-term means of preventing further interference with the neighbouring property.
