HW/TP/26/10030 - Works To Trees with a TPO Unknown

Proposal

T1 Lime x 1 Location: front drive, adjacent to public highway. Fell to near ground level. Reason: The mature lime tree is in poor physiological condition, exhibiting extensive crown dieback, declining vitality, sparse foliage, multiple historic pollarding wounds with associated decay and cavities, and prolific epicormic growth indicative of physiological stress. Retention is no longer considered appropriate, and removal is recommended on arboricultural grounds and safety. Data via plota.co.uk
