Tree Preservation Order WAL:8/73 - TPA - T2 Cedar - Fell and treat stump with eco plugs.Excerpts from "Health and Safety TPO Statement of Reasons T2 Cedar" and "Subsidence TPO Statement of Reasons T2 Cedar" copied below, please see uploaded documents for full text. We believe the mature Cedar tree (T2) at the above address is a significant health and safety risk to the homeowner and neighbours, to such an extent that it now requires removal. Multiple branches have failed in the past and some much more recently, suggesting this tree is stressed and other branches are likely to fail in the near future. Large branches have penetrated through the roof of one of the houses nearby and the homeowner is very concerned about children playing in the garden underneath the trees. The main stem is very close to the buildings and therefore in a precarious position should any of the trees be windthrown or if more limbs fail due to high winds, which have been demonstrably severe in recent months. - These trees have suffered multiple storm failures and have large sections of deadwood within the crown. - Phone lines are running underneath the lateral branches and are in danger of being damaged by failing limbs or deadwood. Furthermore, local residents who may work from home or similar would be severely affected by loss of services should the tree damage the phone lines. Repair of the phone lines will put an unnecessary strain on the public purse and should be reasonably avoided if possible. - The houses are within 5m of the main stem of these trees. If more limbs should fail as they have in the past, the risk of injury or even perhaps loss of life is great. Not to mention the costly repairs that would be needed to the properties affected. The above tree works are proposed to limit the extent and need for expensive and disruptive engineering repair works at the insured property. The above tree works are proposed to limit the extent and need for costly CO2e emissions rela
