  4. Decided2020/0003/TPO

    Trees indicated on the attached plan are a mixture of self seeded trees of varying maturity. They have all seeded in the masonry on the bridge adjacent to Folly Terrace thus threatening the integrity and safety of the said structure. There is some difficulty identifying the species at this time of year but all are deciduous.All trees have been indicated on the attached plan with a "G" reference indicating their approximate girth. As stated, the trees have all self seeded into the masonry of Folly Clough Bridge and have caused some damage to the same. If left, the structure of the bridge will become unstable according to the attached report.The tree indicated in red on the plan requires immediate attention, those indicated in blue are less threatening but still substantially so. Those marked in green pose lesser threat at present but if left, they will do so in the future.The overall plan is to remove the trees. No replanting is planned as this will be counter productive to the preservation of Folly Clough Bridge.
