Proposal
Tree Preservation Order EL: - T1 - Spruce tree. This tree stands at approximately 25m tall and is approximately 6m from the building. To fell the tree because it has outgrown its current position and it is clear it has large lateral roots because it is lifting the decking. This tree is continuing to grow (approximately 40m at maturity) and the roots will be growing too close to the Grade II listed building. There is also a health and safety issue with the tree because it is shedding cones on a regular basis onto the decking where people are eating. We would like to replant a native decorative tree which would be maintained and not grow to the height of this tree and therefore not encroach onto the listed building. Data via plota.co.uk
