  REAR: ONE Pear tree (T1)(approx.ht.10m) FELL and replace with another pear. REASON: the tree is showing signs of dieback in canopy & two large limbs failed this year. Large cavity in base suggesting a fungal pathogen targeting the roots. The weakened structure & failing limbs make it a high risk. Informative A: to thank for the proposed replacement pear to maintain the urban forest canopy and species diversity, for wildlife and plants for pollinators, and shade to reduce high temperatures in increasingly hot summers due to climate change. Informative B: retrenching the crown to make the tree safe to retain a reduced tree for wildlife or retain a low stem or stump is encouraged for biodiversity, including habitat for the endangered stag beetle. Informative C: please create habitat log piles and dead hedge with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
