T1 - Sycamore - to be removed - leaning at a severe 45 degree angle, directly towards where planning permission has been granted for new housebuilding, car ports and fencing. The ground behind and directly against the rear of the trunk is visibly lifted indicating rootplate lift, which in addition to the severe lean of the tree and the granted permission for building works, makes it sensible to remove this tree before building works begin. It is proposed to mitigate the loss of this tree with the planting of two English Oaks within the area covered by the group TPO.
