Proposal

Tree T1 has caused a portion of a boundary wall and pier to become destabilised and collapse in areas. There is a significant risk to public safety without repair and reinstatement. However, that repair and reinstatement cannot take place if T1 is left in-situ. Please refer to the supporting documentation for a detailed analysis and set of recommendations. Data via plota.co.uk
