26/01761/TP3 - Tree Preservation order LAP Reg 3 Current

Proposal

Works to tree - T5371 - (Sorbus intermedia Swedish Whitebeam) major trunk decay at the bottom of the stem and Pholiota squarrosa around rooting area to be section felled. The presence of decay and location within the stem have significantly reduced the structural integrity of the tree, this alongside a significant fungus identified within the rooting area present a substantial risk to the residents and general public. A replant of the same species will be planted as a replacement. Data via plota.co.uk
