Description

T1 - Fell - Western Red Cedar - Reasons: Large tree on front garden boundary with neighbouring property. The tree has previouslyhad a large side stem removed, possibly due to storm damage, there are other historic wounds on the trunk. The roots are causing severe cracking of the tarmac driveway and have broken through the surface in several locations. The property owner also pointed out cracking on the wall and floor of the porch. The Marble front doorstep is cracked and there is seasonal movement in the doorframe. During summer they were unable to open the front door and the step crack opened up, in winter the crack shrank back and the door was freed. This indicates a possible subsidence issue, which will be exacerbated by the water uptake from a large tree within the influencing distance of the house. The expected influencing distance for a mature tree of this species is 20m, the tree is located 6.5m from the property and area of damage.
