Tree Preservation Order

Description

EL:11/52 - The work relates to the beech tree marked in red on Sketch 1, which sits on the property of Roxbury House. The tree is in significant decline and is exhibiting extensive crown dieback throughout the canopy (see Photo 1 and Photo 2). Since remedial deadwood removal was carried out approximately one year ago, there has been a substantial increase in dead branches and canopy loss, indicating a rapid deterioration in the tree's condition. Due to its declining health and its location adjacent to a public road and residential driveway, removal has been recommended by a tree surgeon, and is supported by the Tree Officer following conversations by email.
