T1 (Ash) to be removed due to its close proximity to the clients and neighbouring properties - it will also be prone to ash die back and removing this large tree prior to its infection will make for a safer more reliable dismantle of the tree - subject to TPO 13/1972; T2 (Robinia) to be removed due to its size and close proximity to the clients property (non-TPO tree). Both trees cast shadow into the property and are not suited to their locations especially considering the large oak tree that is also in the rear garden. Both trees to be replaced with more suitable tree species
