Council planning record

T1/T2 - Acer pseudoplatanus (Sycamore) - Fell - We propose to fell these two trees as sooty bark disease has spread through to the trunk and the tree is at risk of failing in an area where visitors regularly access. T3 - Fraxinus excelsior (Ash) - Fell - We propose to fell this tree due to the deep rot at the base of the tree. This tree is at risk of failing in an area where visitors regularly access. T4 - Fraxinus excelsior (Ash) - Reduction of the canopy up to 5 meters - We propose to reduce the canopy due to evidence of prolonged root plate lifting and the severity of the lean. This tree is at risk of failing in an area where visitors regularly access. A1 (Does fall outside the conservation area) - Acer pseudoplatanus (Sycamore) - Fell multiple - We propose to fell all trees affected in there trunk by sooty bark disease. These trees are at risk of failing in an area where visitors regularly access. A1 (Does fall outside the conservation area) - Quercus robur (English Oak) - Deadwood A1 (Does fall outside the conservation area) - Multiple trees species - canopy reduction of up to 4 meters to take back over hanging branches in to the car park that may cause issues to visitors.
