Replacement tree to be planted - either UK grown birch or hawthorn. Informative A: the proposed replacement tree planting in the garden redesign with birch or hawthorn is hugely appreciated for rear amenity, wildlife habitat and to replace lost urban forest canopy to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change.
