Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
Oak (Quercus Robur) - The tree is a very large example of an Oak with long leggy branches overhanging the Forest School area. Crown has had significant damage to one side of the crown due to strong winds. There are currently two large hung up limbs that are in place. To reduce the full remaining crown by 3-4m to reduce the end weight and sail effect, should strong winds come through again. This will also partly balance what is remaining of the crown.
