REAR: ONE Holly (T1)(ht.8m) FELL. Reason: significant ivy cover and decay at base.REAR: ONE Ash (T2)(ht.6m) FELL. Reason: self-sown, poor specimen, close proximity to rear elevations.Informative A: please retain the holly (T1) if safe to do so reduced to a high stem or stump with ivy control to maintain boundary screen and wildlife habitat, and create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative B: delaying works until after the bird nesting season is encouraged - the ivy-covered holly in particular is likely to have suitable nesting habitat for wrens and similar birds. Informative C: please plant a replacement tree such as holly, hawthorn, hazel, spindle, alder buckthorn, purging buckthorn for rear boundary vegetation screen, wildlife habitat and urban forest canopy.
