68 Ailanthus altissima (Tree of Heaven) - Reduce lateral spread of the crown to the west to allow 1.5m clearance from camera and light column. 1255 Platanus x hispanica (London Plane) - Carry out tip-reduction of lateral limb projecting north at 12m by 3m to mitigate risk of failure associated with presence of Inonotus hispidus.

Remove dead stub at 16m. 1294 Robinia pseudoacacia (False Acacia) - Reduce crown to historic pollard points at approx. 9m to mitigate risk of failure of the main stem. 1341 Sorbus latifolia (Broad-leaved Whitebeam) - Reduce the crown in height by up to 3m with a lateral reduction of 1.5m to 2m, to lower the risk of failure associated with decay near the main stem union. 1571 Platanus x hispanica (London Plane) - Reduce the crown in height by 5m, with a lateral reduction of 2.5 to 4m to reduce the likelihood of failure due to the discoverable decay within the union area and to allow clearance from adjacent lamp column.
