Application overview
Tree Preservation Order EL:22/21 - T1/T2- Alder (Alnus Glutinosa) Fell to ground level Reasons for Work: Both trees are heavily smothered in ivy, significantly reducing visibility of the main stems and compromising inspection of structural condition. deadwood is present throughout the crowns, indicating poor vitality and declining health. The combination of deadwood and ivy cover increases the risk of branch or whole-tree failure, particularly in a riverbank location where root stability can be reduced by erosion. Removal is considered necessary to maintain public safety and prevent potential damage to nearby property, pathways, or the river environment.
