    T1 Cedar - Fell. This is a large species of tree unsuitable for the location and very close to neighbouring property, with branches overhanging both it and the public highway. A branch recently fell during mildly windy conditions (although not stormy) and narrowly missed a car parked outside. The neighbouring property is a beauty parlour with no dedicated parking, and there are frequently cars parked outside under the tree. The tree has also grown up around the telegraph pole with wires snaking through the branches
