Council sourceOur contract inspector highlighted a beech tree in a TPO'd group and has recommended for it to be felled. Some conditions mentioned on the inspection include: large 2m cavity, sounded like extensive decay when struck with mallet, severe decline, estimate <5years of life left in it.We would look to replant in the same spot to conserve the tree population in the area.
