Proposal
T078, T079, T080 - Ash/Fraxinus Excelsior - Proposed works are for removal of dead branches only (deadwooding) to all three trees; no felling is proposed at this stage. Reasons for the work: the trees show significant dead branching. It is proposed that the dead wood is removed and the trees are monitored for a period of 1-2 years to assess whether they recover.

About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
