Proposal

Works to tree protected by a TPO. T1 Holm Oak, Quercus ilex in rear garden - fell. After a number of fungi appeared on the tree in 2024 I had a Picus Test performed on the tree in October 2014 which identified decay on the interior of the tree and recommended significant pruning, which was carried out in February 2025. Unfortunately, a number of very large shaggy bracket fungi, Ionotus Hispidus have appeared on the trunk of the tree since then, raising my concern that the health of the tree was continuing to deteriorate. I had the tree assessed again by a qualified tree surgeon in January 2026 and since heavy branches have continued to fall from the tree, to protect the nearby houses and the Marks & Spencer car park to the rear of the garden they have recommended felling of the tree. The tree is 18 metres tall but only 12 metres from the house. I propose to replace the tree and would appreciate your advice on a replacement, bearing in mind the locations proximity to the building. I attach the 2024 Picus test results, the recent tree surgeon's report, a Sketch Plan and supporting photos of the fungi.
