2x multi-stemmed (coppice origin?) ash at south-eastern margin of grounds of Arthington, adjacent to Parkhurst Rd. Both ash showing AD symptoms. Hazard is clearly associated with changed wood properties of affected ash and increased likelihood of stem failures, risk is increased to an unacceptable level due to tree positioning in relation to roadside corridor. Proposed works - section-fell to ground level by professional arborists working to BS 3998:2010. Replacement proposal - accept coppice regrowth from cut stumps, single to best stems in future to develop most appropriate tree form for location.

Beech - minor prune back of lowest branches on eastern quadrant of lower crown to reduce heavy shading, reduce potential contact with structures and free-up sightline for estate driveway.

Cherry : crown reduce tree by 20% overall maintaining existing overall profile and balance; lateral and ascending branches lengths will be reduced by a maximum of 1.8-2.0m with maximum cut diameters of 40mm.

T1 Macrocarpa - fell and replace with site-appropriate species T3 Birch - fell and replace with site-appropriate species Full details and discussion in accompanying report. Tree numbering as per 17/0053/TPO

Cherry - sectionally fell and grind stump to prevent regrowth.

T1: Hawthorn - overall canopy reduction by 1.5-2m.

Beech - 10% overall crown reduction, retaining existing overall shape and balance throughout by removal of branch lengths of 1.8-2m; maximum diameter cuts, 38mm. Crown lift at roadside base by 1.2-1.5m resulting in 4m clearance from ground level. Crown lift by 1.2 m. over garden and remove several existing cut stubs over garden to good healing points.

Group G2 T00999 Locations for both shown on plan within Hi Line report doc. attached.- Appx. D, p. 14 G2 - immature ash and sycamore - Fraxinus excelsior and acer pseudoplatanus - fell. Trees are close to adjacent occupied residential properties - see images in report doc. - encroaching and taking light. No replanting proposed - accept viable regeneration from cut stumps. T00999 - Multi-stemmed Holm oak - Quercus ilex - fell. Poor form and condition - basal decay cavities - see images in report doc. - leaning with crown loading towards adjacent car park facility. No replanting proposed - accept viable regeneration from cut stumps.
