26/01851/TPC - Tree In A Conservation Area Approved

Proposal

The tree is a mature Holm Oak in my back garden. My arboricultural adviser has identified a split in the trunk and recommends the tree is felled as soon as possible as it is in danger of falling on my neighbour's garage (with flat above). Data via plota.co.uk

Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
