Awaiting decisionCouncil status: Pending Consideration
Ash T1 - pollard to a height of 12m, removing close to 40% of the current crown. Although the crown is healthy, some signs of Ash dieback are visible, Multi stemmed, included bark at the lower 'V' adds a further weak point and risk of failure into the road below. Sycamore G1 - reduce all Sycamores in the group by 1-3m in height and width to match the height of the pollarded ash above. With the ash pollarded, the sycamores become exposed to strong winds. Heavily weighted branches grow towards the road, removing the end weight from these will reduce the risk of future failure onto the road.
