Double-stem Holly (T2) - fell because 50% dead already, endangering property wall and in very close proximity to the house. 3. Holm Oak (T3) - amended to 30% crown reduction - because it is 40 feet high, multi-stemmed and raised on an unstable bank adjacent to the boundary wall causing bricks to be out of line and endangering house due to very close proximity; risk of heave on public highway. 4. Yew (T4) - fell bacuase top snapped out and numerous dead limbs; 6 inches in diameter and of low amenity value. 5. Yew (T5) - fell because it is forcing growth against property wall at 1.5m, causing wall damage and of low amenity value. 6. Lime (T6) - fell becasue of numerous dead branches, decay in base and at a dangerous angle over property wall and public pavement. 7. Yew (T7) - fell because it is fracturing wall, top heavy with ivy, of low amenity value and interfering with a public phone mast. 8.
