  A large Robinia pseudoacacia (approximately 40m high - tree has become dangerous in recent years dropping several large branches and showing decay at the base and a cavity in the upright stem. Further branch falls or the main trunk failing could result to damage to Torwood Villas or Leighswood in Torwood Gardens and therefore the tree is dangerous and represents a safety risk to the occupants of those two buildings. The proposal is to remove the tree completely to mitigate the risk to nearby people and property and plant a standard Ash in the same position or other species of the council prefer.
