Council sourceT4 - Goat willow (Salix caprea) - Remove the single stem that leans against the top of the boundary wall. Stem approx. 450mm diameter, extending approx. 4m over the car park. Cut at the boundary line / its base to BS 3998:2010. The rest of the tree will be retained. No felling or root works.Reason: The stem rests on the boundary wall, which is within the curtilage of a Grade II* listed building, adding weight and pressure to the brickwork. It also overhangs the car park, where sap drips onto parked cars and the car park surface and attracts wasps, causing a nuisance and safety risk to car park users. Goat willow responds well to cutting, so removing one stem will not harm the tree's long-term health or its screening value
