View council mapFRONT: ONE Robinia (T0365)(ht.10m) FELL. Reason: health and safety - tomograph assessment indicates 57% decay at base of stem, with significant hollowing in centre of stem likely to continue up this column due to exposed heartwood wound extending 2.5m up stem, risk to structural integrity, crown weight beside footpath and road, high target risk.SIDE (to railway): ONE Sycamore (T0361)(ht.17m) RE-POLLARD by 3-5m to ht.12m to previous pollard points. Reason: repeat maintenance, clearance from building. Informative A: please plant a replacement frontage tree for streetscape amenity species such as magnolia, crab apple, hazel, quince (Cydonia oblonga), witch hazel, elder, Prunus autumnalis. Informative B: huge thanks for retaining the side sycamore as it contributes to railside linear green infrastructure, amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce high temperatures in increasingly hot summers due to the changing climate. Informative C: please leave felled Robinia stem lying on the ground and create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
