DC/099162 - Works To Trees Covered By A TPO Approved

Proposal

Tree specific number is T33, Sycamore. The tree is sick. It has lost substantial bark from the bottom 2m (perhaps 3/4's of its diameter). It has not leafed this year and has been slowly getting worse since we moved back into the property in December 2022. It has fungus growing under the bark where it is exposed and the lower branches are dead. We really don't want to loose the tree (it is one of 4 and a feature of this property) but we are advised by tree surgeons that it is likely to break in strong wind. We understand from our property insurance that we have an obligation to remove it. HAR/CA26, TPO 132W. Data via plota.co.uk
