Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Holm oak tree - crown reduce the tree back to the previous pruning points, removing approximately 2 metres of regrowth. (reduction is intended to manage the size and weight, particularly in view of the large cavities present within the tree and the existing cable brace supporting the two major stems)
