Application overview
Cedar of Lebanon on the island at the end of the cul-de-sac - fell. The tree has undergone regular surveys and testing dating back to 2006. In 2006 it was concluded that the tree was likely to have major basal decay and significant decay within the stem. In 2023 the testing concluded that the trunk of the tree was marginally within the limits of structural integrity (although that isn't to say the tree could not fail nevertheless). In 2024 further testing concluded that decay appears to have extended since the previous test. There has been historic limb failures including a particularly large limb. Expert opinion is in accord that the tree is reaching the end of its safe useful life expectancy and that regrettably the tree should be felled with a replacement tree being provided in the same position.
