Description

T1- Sycamore: Remove to ground level. T2- Bay: Remove to ground level. EcoPlugs will be inserted into the stumps immediately after felling to prevent regrowth, avoiding the need for further chemical treatment or repeat works. Reason for Work: Both trees have outgrown the limited space available within the courtyard garden. They are now too large for their setting and are growing in very close proximity to the garden boundary walls, including within a retaining wall structure. This raises concerns about potential long-term structural impact to the wall, and limits future management options. Data via plota.co.uk
