Planning application
23 Foxfield Way Oakham Rutland LE15 6PR
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Fell 1 no. Swedish White Beam. The tree is between 18 - 21 metres high and has been confirmed as dangerous by two arboriculturists. Due to the current and ongoing level of disease (with either kretzschmaria or King Alfreds cake) the tree has developed several cracks of between 1-1.3 metres up the trunk, large holes at the base of the trunk (which is hollow), and a large hole about 3.5 metres up the trunk. It has been confirmed it will fall as a result of the condition it is now in, this tree is a clear and imminent risk to property and life due to its location and level of disease.
