Description

Works to trees subject to a Tree Preservation Order, namely 1) T1 - Elm removal, on the fringe of TPOA. Stands atop typical Cornish stone/soil garden wall which has suffered some instability/stone loss, causing concern for the owner. T1 was subject to significant crown reduction in approximately 2022 and, despite vigorous regrowth since, does not have a particularly pleasing form. There is scope within the garden, and willingness from the owner, to replace the elm with an agreeable native species. Data via plota.co.uk
