Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
T6 - Lime T6 - Lime - A recent survey of all the trees in th churchyard conducted by Mr Martin Gammie of Consulting with Trees Ltd found this Lime tree to be needing high priority works. It is hoped that felling of this tree will be unnecessary and that pollarding will be sufficient. "Implement decay detection test (DDT) to determine internal structural integrity of the main stem. Subject to results of DDT, consider tree removal or pollarding to height of 6-8m to maintain biodiversity habitat potential. Replacement/succession planting is recommended". Remarks:
