Description

TPO 493 OAK T1Please refer to the Arboricultural ReportFollowing the above report being completed, we are seriously concerned about the potential risks that this tree poses due to the defect that has been highlighted: "The junction of the western stem is a point of weakness and it is likely to fail. If it fails, stems would fall into at least two neighbouring gardens and would also strike the trampoline, they may also strike neighbouring property. On this basis, the value of the property is high. The estimated strike impact from the stems failing is high. Therefore, the risk of harm from this mode of failure is moderate. It would therefore be prudent to intervene". Other Oak trees along the boundary have had to be removed in the past due to causing subsidence and other issues to properties. The tree report finds a number of dead branches throughout the canopy, the taper and weight distribution along many of the lateral branches is suboptimal, making them more vulnerable to breakage in strong winds. In addition, some of the lower lateral branches in the northern and the eastern aspects hyperextend beyond the general crown profile. There are several branch tears visible around the main branch structure, where previous branch failures have occurred.To mitigate the potential harm / damage / injury to our family and property, and our neighbours properties, we would like this tree to be removed.
