Council sourceThe proposal is to reduce the three sycamore trees, shown on the plan and in the photos, by 50%. The trees are rotten and hazardous and during the last storm part of the first tree broke off and fell in to the road. By reducing the trees, new growth will then occur at a lower and safer height. The third tree had previously been reduced like this and you can see new growth, however the newer branches are starting to add additional weight and need to be reduced again. The trees do not have TPO's but are within a conservation area.
