    REAR: ONE Dead Plum (T1)(approx.ht.7m) FELL. Informative: Duty to replace - the owner has a duty to plant another tree of an appropriate size and species at the same place as soon as he or she reasonably can if a tree in a conservation area is removed because it is dead or presents an immediate risk of serious harm under 5 Day Notice. (Para 121 of Tree Preservation Orders and trees in conservation areas guidance). It would be appreciated if the Council could be notified when the replacement tree has been planted. Informative: controlling ivy growth on the adjacent and more visually prominent cherry tree is desirable as the ivy has extended into a substantial section of the canopy and is detrimentally restricting light to leaves and causing additional weight to branches.
