Proposal

The tree T1 is a Myrabalan Plum sited in the rear at garden at 187 Moor Lane Upminster Essex, formally 189/1 Moor lane Hornchurch. The is approx 4.5 metres high. T appears to be in decline having shed branches with more dead limbs still attached. I suspect this has been the effect of drought like conditions leading to its demise. We requested the tree be felled and removed. Data via plota.co.uk

Council record ↗
National infrastructure project about 275 m away: Lower Thames Crossing
The site is about 275 m from the project boundary. Highway, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
