DC/098609 - Tree Works In A Conservation Area Approved

Proposal

Crab apple tree (Malus Sylvestris). Fell because of breaking branches due to exceptional heavy crops of fruit each year. Also risk of injury to pedestrians. Squirrel damage affects a major part of the tree, hence removal seems apprpopriate, to address safety concerns. Replacement tree in same setting will be Prunus Amanogawa. HAR/CA34.
