Council planning record

FELL POPLAR Arborista Ltd (Tree Surgery Quote QU-0303, dated 16 September 2025), the recommendation is for full removal of the tree - Removal is necessary because the roots will continue to expand and pose a risk of subsidence if the tree is only reduced. Ongoing reduction would be temporary, as the tree regenerates quickly and root activity would persist underground. PURSUANT TO CONDITION 13 OF PP REF: 95/1504 DATED 2.2.96
