Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
1 x Horse Chestnut (applicants ref. T3) - Reduce the height and spread by approximately 2-2.5 metres to maintain balance and structure. The large limb extending over the roadside should be reduced by approximately 3 metres to lessen end weight, as it significantly overhangs the public footpath and roadside. Remove all dead wood for safety. A small cavity is visible on the main leader growing towards the roadside and pathway. Standing in T8 of Tree Preservation Order. 1 x Sycamore (applicants ref. T4) - Reduce the overall height by approximately 4 metres. Large sections of dead wood are visible throughout the canopy, with numerous dead branches extending over the public footpath and roadside. Remove all dead wood for safety. A small cavity at the base may weaken the structure and pose a potential hazard. Standing in T7 of Tree Preservation Order. 1 x Oak - Remove major dead wood throughout the canopy, particularly over the public footpath and roadside, to ensure public safety. Standing in T5 of Tree Preservation Order.
