  • RU.26/0576 Granted

    71 A Harpesford Avenue Virginia Water Surrey GU25 4RG

    T1 - Oak at front - fell - tree has Acute Oak Decline (AOD) The tree is in advanced decline, almost dead, due AOD evidenced by weeping exudates on the main stem and progressive and advanced canopy dieback monitored over 5+ years. Structural integrity and vitality are now significantly compromised. Given its proximity to the dwelling and highway (high target occupancy), retention presents an unacceptable foreseeable risk of failure and liability under duty of care obligations. Felling is therefore justified on arboricultural safety grounds.
