  FRONT to Lee Terrace: ONE Pollard POPLAR (T1) FELL. Reason: This tree is T2 in 5 day exemption notice DC/19/112927 ? granted 04/07/2019 to remove the large dead top. Further inspection has revealed the tree is approx. 90% hollow to the ground with insufficient sound holding wood to retain. Voluntary replacement tree proposed. FRONT to Lee Terrace: ONE Pollard POPLAR (T2) FELL. Reason: climbing inspection of the large stem cavity approx.6m above ground level reveals the tree is 90% hollow to the base with insufficient sound holding wood to retain for the future. Voluntary replacement tree proposed. Informative: The offer of replacement trees for the poplars is greatly welcomed with thanks as this will retain the tree lined boundary character and street amenity of Lee Terrace. The preferred trees are larger canopy species, not fastigiate forms, such as small leaved lime (Tilia cordata), sweet chestnut (Catanea sativa), tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), walnut (Juglans regia), sessile oak (Quercus petraea), sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus), hornbeam (Carpinus betulus), Indian horse chestnut (Aesculus indica), disease resistant elm, beech (Fagus sylvatica).
