Planning application
5 Egypt Copse Cowes Isle Of Wight PO31 8BA
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Oak tree - 20% Crown thin by removing the epicormic internal growth; Crown reduction by 1-2M and reduction in drip line over the washing line area 2-3M of current growth. Reason: The tree has Beefsteak fungus (Fistulina hepatica) fruiting bodies at the bottom of the trunk. The work is to reduce and manage the tree to keep in size for the garden it's situated in and increase light into the garden and house. Tree should continued to be manged and monitored due to presence of Fistulina hepatica.
