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

Proposal

T296 Oak - Reduce long advantageous branch growing from top of large historical tear-out wound, by up to 2m from current tip, leaving a finish branch length of 9m. Reduce back to suitable side branches to leave as natural a shape as possible. Similarly reduce back branch beneath as above to match and leave a more balanced crown. T278 Oak - Reduce the entire crown by up to 2m in all dimensions, reducing back to a substantial lateral branch to leave as natural a shape as possible. Reduce to form a more compact crown with a finish tree height of approximately 17m and lateral finish branch length of approximately 9m. T284 Beech - Fell the tree and as close to ground level as possible.
