Tree 3674 (Fagus sylvatica) - fell due to presence of Kretzschmaria deusta, assymetrical canopy and lean to the north. The position of the tree in relation to a statue and children's trail has been reassessed by Ben Abbatt of Sapling Arboricultural and he has altered his recommendation of crown reduction in his 2022 survey (J146 08 TCS Gilbert White Estate 20220629) to felling. His recommendations are in the attached document (Sapling Report 14 June 2023).Tree 3675 (Fagus sylvatica) - crown reduction to a horizontal radial canopy spread of 10m (from 12m) to reduce the potential for stem failure. This work has been upgraded from low priority to medium priority because of the work to adjacent tree 3674, detailed in attached Sapling Report 14 June 2023The positions of both trees are marked on the plan on p18 of J146 08 TCS Gilbert White Estate 20220629.It is intended that tree 3674 will be replaced by natural tree growth in this woodland area.
