The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.

- Feb 2025Tree WorksTreesIn report
T1 - Silver Birch Tree - Reduce the height by 2metres, from 9metres to 7metres - to reduce the 'leggy' growth at the top of the crown down to suitable growth points to encourage a denser crown and reduce the sail effect of the top of the crown. T2 - Cherry Tree - Reduce the height and lateral growth from 6metres to 4metres and remove 1 selected branch growing towards the cherry tree next to it - To encourage more even growth, currently the tree is fighting for light, and as a result, has ended up very unbalanced. Although the area is natural and wild, it also needs to be safe and if the tree continues to grow in this manner, it is likely to suffer from limb loss due to end load weight.
