| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| Insufficient Evidence: No arboricultural assessment or structural engineer’s report has been provided to demonstrate that the cypress is the cause of the damage to the retaining wall. |
| Loss of Amenity: The tree is in fair condition and makes a positive contribution to the streetscene; its removal would result in an unnecessary loss of public amenity. |
