Located within the turning area and access for open space to Corfe Castle Playing Field at the rear of 21 West Street and rear of 1 Springwell Close
T1 Common Lime (Tilia X europaea): Recommend a 4m crown raise to allow more room within the turning area for maintenance vehicles for the park. G1 Sumacs (Rhus Typhina): Recommend fell all group of Sumacs, as they have outgrown their situation, are uprooting from the wind, and are blocking access to the equine field. The gate to the field will need replacing soon and the Sumacs will hinder this maintenance.
