Proposal

Description: We are looking to remove to ground level 1x diseased Horse Chestnut tree that overhangs Forge Hill and is located within the Conservation area at The Thorne Estate. This Horse Chestnut tree has the bacterium 'Bleeding Canker' and therefore we would like to have it felled before it becomes dangerous. We are looking to reduce the crown of another Horse Chestnut tree that also overhangs Forge Hill and within the Conservation area at The Thorne Estate, to approximately 6m (ie. the ridge height of the nearby building) and trim any other overhanging branches.
