6 The Crescent Buckminster Leicestershire NG33 5SF

Awaiting decision Melton 26/00863/TCA Trees

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Fell x1 Sycamore and x1 Lime tree. The sycamore has previously been hit by lightning, dieback is present and the overall condition of the tree is deteriorating. The Lime has bleeding canker, is showing signs of phytophora, large diameter deadwood in low, medium and upper crown. Both trees are located next to a set of garages, this poses a threat to the buildings structure if limbs fall. There is also a public footpath within close distance to the trees which poses a health and safety concern to pedestrians if limbs fall.
