- Description:
- Oak (T1) - Topping just above a junction where primary branches connect to the stem because of the damage occurring from an ancient poor degree and standards of pruning operation within close distance to the first-order fork, and there is no evidence of repair by producing substantial quantities of new wood around the old wound. Old wound damage extends to the primary junction. An assessment was carried out to inspect a tree above ground level to detect any potential failures. The IML Probe Rod revealed that the depth of the union is 70 cm and the strain level and strength of the branch junction are being challenged by the forces caused by wind movement.Detritus within the branch junction contains a dip, which can lead to persistently high moisture levels. This is due to the collection of rainwater, leaf litter, small twigs, droppings, and a breeding ground for disease.The retaining wall to the terraces is failing in several places, as evidenced by persistent and increasingly severe cracking problems. Please see the photographs with more evidence and red markings. Tree targeting house and car park area. Removing two primary branches reduces the risk of failure as this species is highly suitable for this operation and will trigger dormant buds.

- Description:
- Oak (T1) - Pollard because of the damage occurring from an ancient poor degree and standards of pruning operation within close distance to the first-order fork, and there is no evidence of repair by producing substantial quantities of new wood around the old wound. Pollard reduces the risk of failure as this species is highly suitable and slows down metabolism. The lack of bifurcation combined with the asymmetrical shape of the crown poses a high risk of the tree falling and is not tolerated by the homeowner. The retaining wall to the terraces is failing in several places, as evidenced by persistent and increasingly severe cracking problems. Please see the photographs with more evidence and red markings.
