2 x Scots pine trees situated on elevated bank, retained by sheet piles. Individual tree has recently failed due to exposure and high winds, there is a concern that 2 similar trees will fail in a similar way so to exposure and limited rooting area within the embankment. The site has planning approval for residential development with plots to be constructed within falling distance of these trees. It is recommended that the 2 Scots pine trees are removed and replaced with more appropriate species such as hornbeam.
