26/1201/TTPO - Works to TPO trees Awaiting decision

Proposal

URGENT TREE WORKS - Large, mature sycamore tree in field off Frog End. Significant die back exhibited in the upper crown and on set decay, caused by historic damage to lower truck from animal damage to the bark and possible fungal activity. The tree surgeons have recommended a heavy Pollard by approximately 50% (8m), to reduce the risk of failure and remove potential striking of power lines. Data via plota.co.uk
