Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Tree T1 has caused a portion of a boundary wall and pier to become destabilised and collapse in areas. There is a significant risk to public safety without repair and reinstatement. However, that repair and reinstatement cannot take place if T1 is left in-situ. Please refer to the supporting documentation for a detailed analysis and set of recommendations.
