Proposal
REAR (by pitch & putt): ONE Cedar (T1)(approx.ht.16m) remove one snapped limb. Reason: it has snapped and hanging in the canopy, to be removed to mitigate health & safety issues as the gardens are a high volume area. REAR (by rail line nature trail): ONE Ash (T2)(approx.ht.12m) remove snapped and fallen canopy. Reason: canopy has snapped out due to a large cavity causing structural failure and the canopy is now lying on the ground, the stem to be left as it stands as monolith. Informative A: thank you for careful management to retain trees and monoliths for amenity, wildlife and landscape character. Informative B: successional planting is encouraged with another cedar planted nearby for future feature tree in this part of the garden near the top entrance off Horniman Drive. Informative C: please create habitat log piles with some arisings for wildlife and biodiversity. Data via plota.co.uk
