Description

They are ash trees. Both need to be removed as they are suffering from ash dieback. If left too long they will not be climbable and this will be extremely expensive to then remove due to the additional health and safety measures involved. We have engaged a tree surgeon after consulting a handful of suppliers to come to the best solution. The trees are not subject to tree preservation orders. They both will have an impact if they fall, one is close to a major road and near a residence, the other could impact a watercourse to a council owned culvert which is in a flood risk area. HAR/CA20. TPO 364E-2. Data via plota.co.uk
