Council sourceDescription: T1 - Bay laurel - To fell. Reason: The tree, both above and below ground, is in conflict with the property and this cannot be resolved by pruning (root structure is interfering with drainage and foundations (which are not deep enough to limit impact from roots). The applicant would like to fell and poison this tree and replant in a more sustainable position (at the front of the house to mitigate against loss of amenity value). Suggested species is Pyrus calleriana 'Chanticleer' - Standard to Heavy Standard.
