Trees & landscaping

Proposal

Front Garden: T1 and T2 Lime. Re pollard to previous pollard points and remove lower growth. Council Note: Previous TCA history noted for repeat management of the two front garden Lime trees including re pollarding in 2001 2019 and 2022. Current proposal appears consistent with cyclical re pollarding to previous pollard points. Data via plota.co.uk
