Photo of this report zoom

This tree is completely dead, this picture was taken mid June 2026 and there is no foliage whatsoever, complete canopy dieback. The whole tree is completely covered in ivy. Approx 70ft and within striking distance to houses and car parking areas. 2 trees have fallen before in the last couple of years from this woodland area which have landed on car parking spaces and blocked the road. This woodland is unmanaged and requires surveying.

Updates

  • A Highway Officer will carry out an initial assessment of the tree, emergency issues will be corrected or made safe at the time of the inspection, if reasonably practicable to do so. In this context, making safe may constitute displaying warning notices, coning‐off or fencing‐off to protect the public from the tree or other suitable action.

    If the inspection team cannot make safe the defect at the time of inspection, then they will instigate the relevant emergency call procedures to ensure appropriate resources are mobilised to make the tree safe. Highway Officers are not qualified as tree experts and in some cases they may need to arrange for a tree surgeon to visit the site and carry out a survey on the tree which can take up to 12 weeks.

    There may also be occasions when the issue reported will be classified as a minor defect and does not pose any risk to either the safety or the integrity of the highway, these are called minimum recording levels as specified in our Highways Safety Inspection Policy , in these cases no action will be taken.
