Proposal
REAR: ONE Sycamore (T1)(ht.14m) POLLARD REDUCE by 8m to sound standing monolith at approx.6m. Reason: upper section of the tree has failed, snapping out, including the leader, falling into the garden and a number of fractured and part-detached limbs remain hung and lodged within the crown at height with risk of falling, crown compromised with no prospect of forming a safe, balanced crown. Informative A: huge thank you for retaining the tree, hopefully to regrow a reasonably sized for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative B: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative C: if space allows new tree planting is encouraged to maintain the urban forest for environment and wildlife benefits. Data via plota.co.uk
