Council sourceT1 - Apple tree - Fell - cooking apple tree at least 50 years old, completely rotten and hollow and has lost significant branches in recent years, limited leaf growth and no apples last year. We would like to remove it on safety grounds and replace it with a new cooking apple tree of at least 3 years of age. T2 - Conifer tree - Fell - has been poorly pruned by the previous owners and add little to the conservation area, we propose its removal and replacement with a plum tree of at least 3 years of age.
