Proposal to remove a large, structurally unbalanced limb from an Ash tree showing early signs of Ash Dieback to improve stability and prevent further failures.

Full Proposal

T1 Ash - Tree shows very early signs of Ash Dieback. A large limb extending to the northwest projects well beyond the remainder of the crown. This limb is structurally unbalanced and vulnerable to failure, particularly in light of the tree's declining condition. It is recommended that this limb be removed in order to reduce mechanical stress and improve the overall balance and stability of the tree. Additionally, the main central stem has previously failed, resulting in damage to the adjacent garden fence. The removal of the northwestern limb would help to compensate for this earlier loss and reduce the likelihood of further failures.
