Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
1. Indigenous walnut tree current canopy 13 meter diameter. Reduce canopy size to managable size of 7 metres and remove diseased and lower branches. 2. Red common Acer either fell and replace with a 10 year old sapling or reduce canopy size to 30m in height. and prune lower branches by lifting to 2.5m from the ground. This tree is 2 metres from a ground drop at the internal fence of 1 metre. Hence it is putting strain on the retaining ground and fence. Also competes with the two larger trees, walnut and copper beech. 3. Copper Beech tree, branches overhanging the road are to be lifted to a safe height to ensure that tractors and vehicles can safely pass, 3 meters from the road The canopy to be pruned to a safe height of 30 metres.

Oak Tree and the required work: Remove deadwood greater than 25mm. Reason: 20% of upper canopy showing branch and tip dieback. We are obviously keen to get the necessary works carried out as soon as possible, not only to ensure that the advised remedial measures are undertaken to protect the tree itself, but also as a vital health and safety measure to protect users of the Village Hall and their property in that area.
