Proposal
SIDE: ONE Laurel (T1)(ht.approx.7m) FELL. Reason: not a good specimen, next to 2m wall and side access. A replacement native pollinator tree will be planted in a more suitable location. Informative A: the replacement native pollinator tree is hugely welcomed and supported for green infrastructure benefits and to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change.
