    FRONT: ONE dead lime (T1)(ht.5m) FELL. Duty to replace applies. Reason: low pollard, ivy covered, the tree was dead in 2025, the front wall has collapsed and needs to be rebuilt with adequate foundations, the tree is very unstable and now liable to fall onto the public pavement, to replace with a small species Magnolia under duty to replace. Informative A: the landowner has a duty to plant another tree of an appropriate size and species at the same place when a tree is removed in a conservation area because it is dead or presents an immediate risk of serious harm. Ref. Tree Preservation Orders and trees in conservation areas, guidance, para 121. Informative B: suggested replacement tree species: crab apple, magnolia, hawthorn, hazel, winter flowering cherry, Orange Bark Myrtle, witch hazel, elder, Cornus mas. If Magnolia selected suggest such as: Magnolia stellata, M. liliiflora 'Nigra', M. x loebneri 'Leonard Messel'. Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings from (T1) for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative D: huge thanks for retaining the other 3x front low pollard lime trees for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high heatwaves with climate change. Informative E: the collapsed front boundary brick wall is being rebuilt like-for-like with same bricks so planning permission not required re the article 4 Direction on the property.
