Received 10 Sept 2024 - Unknown24/00074/TPO
2/TPO/00546- A Horse Chestnut tree on the boundary of my property with the road has become dangerous. A large tree bough has dropped off twice blocking the road and on one occasion taking out the electric power lines severing power to a large number of properties. I believe Honey fungus is present and is causing the trees demise. The tree is identified within the TPO plan as area G1. The boughs fallen have on one of the occasions narrowly missed the neighbours chalkstone outbuilding and should the tree fall entirely it would hit there property, take out the power lines and block the road. I propose felling of the tree as a matter of urgency. I have other trees to plant eg Beech, Mulberry, Hornbeam etc and will happily replace once removed.
