Awaiting decision Wigan A/26/101451/WTTPO Work to Trees - TPO

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Oak tree T1 - Fell, tree with large proportion of missing back from historical damage (lightening?) Now has visible brackets of decay fungus and if it fails it will damage retaining wall and slide/reach house. Oak Tree T2 - Tree with large spreading limbs which are growing towards light and causing excessive shading on lawn - Crown raise to 6m over lawn and reduce longer laterals by 2m. Replanting has already been carried out with numerous trees over the last few years.
