• Tree In The Border With 20 And 18 High Street Waterbeach Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB25 9JU

  20/2491/TTCA Submitted 24 Nov 2020 31m away

  Dangerous Tree We asked a tree surgeon to examine a large ash tree on our northern border with no. 20 High Street. This tree is the one with the large growth of ivy, not normally a problem but it acts like a huge sail in high winds. The tree trunk has started to sway noticeably (1 metre each way) when it is windy and is creaking ominously. The tree surgeon Simon Stevenson discovered that the trunk is rather hollow and rotten and is home to oyster fungus. So as an urgent safety matter we are proposing to remove the tree before we and / or our neighbours to the south at no. 16 get the full benefit when it falls over and demolishes various sheds / people etc. The tree surgeons will need to secure the tree while they are doing their aerial work, I think by roping it to sound large trees around the tree being cut down. I guess this will mean tying it to a couple of Jamie Buchanan's trees at no. 20 to prevent the tree falling southwards when the chaps are working up high. I know that the normal planning process takes six weeks. In this case I ask you to approve the emergency removal of this tree as a priority before we have damage to people and property.
