REAR: ONE Eucalyptus (T1)(approx.ht.12m) FELL.Reason: Despite a previous significant crown reduction intended to mitigate the loss of light and enjoyment of the space, the intervention has proven insufficient. The tree's fast-growing habit and dense canopy continue to cause an unreasonable degree of overshadowing. Having explored pruning as a management strategy without success, the only sustainable long-term solution to restore reasonable enjoyment of the property is the removal of the specimen and its replacement with a more suitable species.REPLACEMENT PROPOSAL: 5x trees (Amelanchier, crab apple, wild cherry, field maple, rowan) with bark mulch surround, 3yr watering regime as details received 27.2.26. Informative A: the proposed replacement tree planting with 5x trees as applicant's planting details including watering maintenance proposals received 27.2.26 is hugely appreciated, to replace urban forest canopy benefits, wildlife habitat, the treed character of the conservation area beside the sports field, for flood mitigation, reducing air pollution, carbon capture and cooling air temperatures in increasingly high summer heatwaves due to climate change. Informative B: please plant the replacement trees during the current or next planting season (end Oct-end March). Informative C: please create habitat log piles with some arisings for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative D: to enhance urban greening and wildlife benefits further please consider establishing climbers on fences, and include hedgehog highway holes in fence gravel boards.
