Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1 is a mature Ash standing inside the woodland subject to TPO 052 and directly behind outbuildings of the property. The tree is showing signs of extensive Ash Dieback with approx 40% living canopy observed in early October. It is proposed to fell the tree to prevent possible damage to adjacent outbuildings + removal of the lowest limb, belonging to a Beech tree adjacent to the Ash, back to the property boundary.
