However, T8 is colonised by the decay causing fungi Ganoderma applanatum and following a resistograph test and investigation by arbor specialists Gristwood & Toms and inspection by SODC and OCC Tree Officers it has been concluded that T8 has a limited safe remaining life expectancy and should be felled. This work will be carried out by specialist firm Foremost Tree Surgeons and all necessary permits and licences will be obtained prior to works being carried out to the tree T8. Once dismantled, the T8 stump will be ground down and all debris branches and shavings will be removed from site by the contractor and the site left clean safe and tidy. 2 no. replacement trees Common Lime will be hand planted in the positions marked on Plans 'Tree 8 Location and Replacement Trees Location & Specification 1' and 'Replacement Trees Location 2'.

The replacement trees will be hand dug and planted to with a slow release fertilizer and well watered in and the root balls secured using Platipus rootball fixing system Plat-Mat RF1P. The root balls will be fitted with GreenBlue RootRain Urban RRURB1A irrigation systems and the applicant undertakes to ensure that both trees are kept sufficiently watered during the first two spring/summer seasons from the date of planting. Thereafter it will be the responsibility of OCC Highways to maintain the new trees. The applicant requests that the Tree Officer mark the position for the 2nd replacement tree on the attached plan "Replacement Trees Location 2".
