Proposal
T1 Deodar Cedar instalation of root barrier as per MWA Site Plan (T6 of TPO 565/1989) at The Embers, 8 Evesham Road North, An application submitted by MWA in October 2021 (21/02809/TPO) to remove the cedar tree was refused by the council. As an alternative to tree removal, the installation of a root barrier is proposed to mitigate the influence of the cedar. The barrier (Option A of the included Optera Statement of Work document) will be installed in the garden area of The Embers, 8 Evesham Road North, and will be excavated within the Root Protection Area (RPA) of the cedar. As amended on 08/07/2022.
