Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

T6 - Cedar of Lebanon - This application concerns the sole tree on the site which is protected by a TPO. It is a Fir tree to the north of the Gymnasium building and is in a severely diseased and very unsafe condition with branches being shed on a frequent basis. The site is used by over 500 children gymnasts each week and the tree is immediately adjacent to the footpath from the members' car park to the gumnasium. the tree therefore needs immediate removal. T1 Cedar of Lebanon Spec: S19 Quercus robur 10-12cm (selected standard) Reason: R1 Sound arboricultural management Reason: R3 Limited safe useful life expectancy
