View council mapPrunus T1 - fell because the tree's canopy fails to contribute to the visual amenities that enhance the character and setting of the Conservation Area. A healthy and well-structured canopy is essential for maintaining the aesthetic and ecological value of such areas, providing shade, habitat for wildlife, and visual cohesion with the surrounding landscape. The canopy has been progressively over-reduced, leading to poor form and limited regrowth potential. The rooting area is confined by surrounding hard surfaces/structures, reducing stability and vigour.
