REAR: ONE Hawthorn (T1)(ht.8m) FELL. Reason: removal to reduce lack of light and benefit growth of surrounding trees and shrubs. Replant acer tree.Informative A: to encourage retention of the hawthorn T1 with crown reduction and crown lift to address the shade issue, for amenity, wildlife benefits and shade to reduce high temperatures in increasingly hot summers due to the changing climate; it is also increasingly difficult to establish new trees with hot and dry spring and summers with climate change. Informative B: for a replacement Acer, suggest field maple or paperbark maple rather than Japanese maple which is prone to leaf scorch, alternative species for autumn colour are such as crab apple, Persian ironwood (Parrotia persica), Amelanchier, Seven Son Tree (Heptacodium miconioides), Cornus kousa Teutonia. Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
