Description
Notice of intent to carry out works to trees in a Conservation Area: T1 - Common Horse Chestnut -Extensive basal decay & cavity present. Cavity extends to circa 75-80% of cross section, this is likely to result to failure of the tree. Given the location (immediate targets are dwelling & public footpath) and the species of the tree, we intend to monolith/pollard the tree at circa 3m. Leaving a monolith at a safe height to mediate loss habitat. T2 - Tree of heaven -Crown reduction reducing height and spread by up to 1.8m Data via plota.co.uk
