• Land To The South Of 5 New Road Melbourn Cambridgeshire

  23/0056/TTPO Submitted 16 Jan 2023 150 yards away

  T2 - Horse Chestnut - re-pollard to 8m to remove weight and sail. This Tree has been heavily pollarded in the past. At the crown break / previous pollard point (8m), the new growth unions look to be in the advanced stages of decay. The prolific fungal issues are causing this growth to become a hazard, as it may fail in the wind / weight of the branches themselves. There is a childrens play area/ zip line directly below.
