Application overview
T1; Sycamore - Dismantle to near ground level. Reason: This road-side tree is in a state of terminal decline. Carrying significant dead wood in the crown and with numerous defects in the stem, it is felt that restorative work would not be sufficient to enable successful retrenchment or rejuvenation. Highly likely to coppice at stump and remain as a feature in a different form.T2; Macrocarpa - Dismantle to near ground level. Reason: Following detailed discussion with both the owner of the tree and Mr. J. Willis (senior Tree Officer), it was decided that to improve growing conditions and and to encourage greater wind-firming of the adjacent cedar, removal of the macrocarpa would be beneficial. The macrocarpa has outgrown its position and has little amenity value (esp. when compared with the potential value of the cedar, if managed correctly into the future).
