    1x Copper Beech: at front of property which was subject to storm damage (split of bifurcated union) last winter. Further to communication with Jon Thomas in February 2025, we have waited to see if the tree survived. It did and permission is now sought to remove approx 100mm of decayed wood on the failed side of the bifurcated union (where the tree split) and to reduce weight and remove dead branches on remaining side of the tree. Pls see attached photo which shows the decay and illustrates the location better than a sketch plan.
