Proposal

G1 - A group of 3x self-sown Sycamores growing close to Black Bridge on the River Itchen. The tree roots are now undermining the rivers support piles and forcing them apart. These support piles would have been put in place before the flats were built. The future growth of these trees could also affect for foundations of bridge. The trees are in poor condition and are self-sown, there is evidence of some branch removal in the past. I would recommend felling and removing these trees to alleviate further damage before remedial work on the banking can take place.
