Proposal
Giant Sequoia - Removal due to canopy decline, the tree is location within close proximity ICT/art block. As the tree is located at the entrance/exit of the school there is a very high risk of danger from limb break outs. Children, staff and visitors use the patio area under the tree daily to get to the ICT/art block and enter/leave school. The tree appears to be in rapid decline, we have attached photographs of the tree in October 2019 and September 2021. The tree is the last remaining tree in the raised bed, with suspected honey fungus. Work - Fell to ground level.
