T1 - Beech Tree: To Supply tree surgery services, machinery and equipment to Undertake the sectional felling of the Beech tree located within the rear garden, utilising a 45-tonne crane to safely lift and remove sections from the site. The resistance measurements indicate reduced resistance throughout all test locations. In conjunction with the presence of Kretzschmaria deusta (Brittle Cinder), these findings suggest cellulose degradation within the lower stem and buttress roots. This form of decay typically results in a progressive loss of structural integrity, causing the affected wood to become increasingly brittle and significantly increasing the risk of basal failure. Due to its size and proximity to surrounding structures, removal is recommended. A crane-assisted dismantle is considered the safest and most efficient method of removal.
