T1645 Tree of Heaven - Fell to ground level due to its invasive nature and aggressive root suckers causing structural risk to the Grade II listed building and surrounding surfaces.
T1644 Tree of Heaven - Fell to ground level; shares the same root system as T1645, with identical concerns. Stumps to be treated, monitored, and removed. Replacement with a non-invasive species is proposed.
T1643 Horse Chestnut - Lift canopy to 4m in the front car park to allow vehicle clearance.
T1635 Sycamore - Reduce crown by 1.5–2m and remove deadwood to improve structure and reduce risk of branch failure.
