Council planning record

Tree works to be carried out in line with good woodland maintenance and management practices:Self-seeded and poor specimen Sycamores and Crack Willow will be felled and removed to allow more space for other species to thrive and reduce overcrowding in these areas.These include:T17 - Sycamore, G18 - 5x Sycamore, T19 - Sycamore, T20 - Sycamore, T21 - Sycamore, T22 - Sycamore, T23 - Sycamore, T24 - Sycamore, T25 - Sycamore, T26 - Sycamore, T27 - Sycamore, T30 - Sycamore, T31 - Sycamore, T32 - Sycamore, T33 - Sycamore, T34 - Sycamore, T35 - Sycamore, T37 - Sycamore, T82 - Crack Willow, T83 - Crack Willow, T89 - Sycamore, T90 - Sycamore, T93 - Sycamore, T153 - Sycamore, Other trees to fell and replace include:T38 - Alder - very poor specimenT39 - Alder- very poor specimenT154 - Ash - tree infected with Ash die-back, leaning on and damaging fence. High risk of failure - fell to secure perimeter and want to manage Ash die-back in area.T16 - juvenile Oak - Fell - allow more space for T15 Beech to thrive. Overcrowding in this area.T36 - Holly - Fell - Self seeded thicket crowding out more desirable trees - fell to allow other trees to thrive.T81 - Oak - Fell - root plate has shifted at base creating a 25 degree lean and a likelihood of failure. Fell and replace for longterm woodland benefitT87 - Oak - fell - Heavily suppressed with a 15 degree lean, very imbalanced. Fell and replace for longterm woodland benefitT152 - Oak - Fell - Mature and heavily defected tree with multiple defects including Acute Oak Decline infection, large cavity all through the stem at 5m, decay to cambium where lost bark exposes inner wood on SE side, die-back in canopy, lost limbs. high risk of failure.Each tree (36 in total) will be replaced with a native specimen (8-10cm container grown) in a similar location to the felled tree. The trees will be a mix of Hornbeam, Oak, Beech, Rowan and Field Maple to encourage a more diverse but locally appropriate wood
