The Chalet, Walking Bottom, Peaslake, Guildford, GU5 9RRAwaiting decisionT1 (Beech): Remove to ground level. Reason: The tree is acting as host to Ganoderma adspersum and Meripilus gigantius. Ganoderma had been noted in the past and pruning/reduction work had been carried out to mitigate risk to the adjacent property. However the recent noting of extensive meripilus fungal brackets alongside the existing ganoderma brackets which have been at the base of the tree for some years has lead us to the decision to remove the tree in its entirety as the risk to the property if the tree were to fail is too high (Peaslake Cons)Received 6 Nov 202626/T/00304
