REAR: ONE Bay Tree (Laurus Nobilis)(ht.7m) FELL. Reason: close to rear elevation and garden wall, minor internal plaster cracks on the house internal wall, and larger cracks around the window frame, causing ongoing maintenance issues, the tree has outgrown its planting location and restricted space. Replacement: A suitable, smaller species will be planted in an appropriate location within the garden.Informative A: huge thank you for planting a smaller replacement tree elsewhere in the garden for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative B: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
