View council mapREAR: ONE Pear Tree (T1)(ht.5m) FELL. Reason: removal to reduce lack of light and benefit growth of surrounding trees and shrubs.Informative A: it is unfortunate this unusually shaped tree which provides a feature, character, maturity and boundary screening to the rear garden is being felled rather than reduced to retain wildlife habitat and biodiversity. Informative B: replacement tree planting is encouraged with such as crab apple, hawthorn, hazel, elder, pear (Pyrus communis), mulberry, medlar, quince (Cydonia oblonga), Amelanchier for rear amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
