This application relates to two trees located at the far end of the rear garden of 73 Middle Brook Street, as identified on the accompanying sketch plan.Tree 1 Elder tree Tree 1 is an elder tree. The proposed work is to fell the tree to ground level and remove the resulting arisings. The tree is partially dead and has already shed several large branches. Following an inspection, an arborist advised that it is unlikely to recover satisfactorily, even if the remaining dead wood is removed, and recommended its removal.Tree 2 Yew tree Tree 2 is a yew tree located immediately adjacent to Tree 1. The proposed work is to fell the tree to ground level and remove the resulting arisings. Removal is proposed at the same time as Tree 1 to enable the area around both trees to be cleared and investigated following signs of rodent activity near the roots.The stumps will be ground out below ground level and the resulting material removed.
