FRONT: ONE Holly (T1) (ht.6.5m) FELL and replace. Reason: severe structural defect, leaning at an approximately 40-degree angle, presenting a risk of failure, beneath telephone wires, Stem 1 diameter 14 cm / Stem 2 diameter 12 cm. FRONT: ONE Hawthorn (T2) (ht. 6.5m) FELL and replace. REASON: wood-boring insect infestation which has damaged the lower part of the tree, beneath telephone wires Stem 1 diameter 9 cm / Stem 2 diameter 6 cm.REPLANTING PROPOSAL: Due to the overhead telecommunications wires, replanting high-forest trees in this exact location is unfeasible. To maintain canopy cover and support local biodiversity in this shaded area, it proposed that the felled trees will be replaced with a shade-tolerant, native woody shrub that respects the height restrictions of the wires, such as a Guelder Rose (Viburnum opulus) or Hazel (Corylus avellana).Informative A: the replacement shrub planting is hugely appreciated for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative B: please retain high stump of decayed hawthorn (T2) and create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
