Planning portal just states approval given to reduce tree to 14m.

Thank you for your post, it was extremely helpful.

Thank you all for your input. As you can probably tell my tree knowledge is very poor. Are there things I can do to improve the health. I can certainly remove some of the soil around the base, anything else? Or should I reach out to a local arborist who can hopefully monitor the tree and advise going forward.

Around 5 years ago planning permission had been granted for this tree and another oak on the estate to be removed due to subsidence to a neighbours extension. The previous owners of this tree decided against the removal for reasons unknown and applied for the reduction which was also approved. The other Oak was removed. This wasn’t known to us at the time of purchase as sellers chose not to disclose that info, only that it had been heavily cut back due to disease and it also did not show up on the local searches.

Hi Stubby, that I don’t know, but highly possible. The original garden was slopped and fully lawned apparently. The previous owners had the garden landscaped creating a large patio with a 1 metre high retaining wall. Tree sits about 1 metre from edge of the wall.

Thank you both for your help. Tree is about 4 metres from mine and my neighbours properties. Is it at any risk of coming down or am I fine to leave it as it is? Is there anything that can be done to eradicate the ganoderma? Google has put the fear in me saying tress with ganodermas are at risk of sudden collapse.

Hello, thank you for responding, more pictures attached.

Hello, We have a large English Oak tree in our garden with a TPO. We purchased the property spring last year and noticed on 3/4 branches the leaves turned brown in the spring summer and 2 of the branches ultimately fell from the tree over the winter. The bark has started to become patchy in places and noticed some growth at the base that I don’t recall seeing last year. Is this all normal or would you recommend we have a professional come and carry out a health check on the tree? Previous owners had advised the tree previously had quite a lot of diseased branches a few years ago so permission was given for quite a big reduction.
