Awaiting decision South Downs National Park SDNP/26/03465/TCA Trees

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

02DU & 02DV - Two mature Honey locusts (Gleditsia triacanthos). Crown lift the canopies over the lane to provide 5 metres? clearance. Crown lift the low branches over the access drive to the car park to provide 4 metres? clearance. Prune the canopies to provide 3 metres? clearance from the adjacent properties. Remove all deadwood. 02DT - Mature Weeping ash (Fraxinus excelsior Pendula). Consent is sought for the following: Reducing the crown to a simple structural framework to reduce mechanical loading upon the decayed areas. Retaining viable secondary growth and as much of the existing canopy as reasonably practicable where suitable opportunities arise during the work.
