Planning application
Land At Halvergate Close Sunderland
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Works to tree - T5371 - (Sorbus intermedia Swedish Whitebeam) major trunk decay at the bottom of the stem and Pholiota squarrosa around rooting area to be section felled. The presence of decay and location within the stem have significantly reduced the structural integrity of the tree, this alongside a significant fungus identified within the rooting area present a substantial risk to the residents and general public. A replant of the same species will be planted as a replacement.
