Indian bean tree / catalpa - I am applying to remove the tree and replace with a tree better suited to the location. The tree has been badly managed in the past by previous home owners. It has many wounds on the stem as shown in the attached photos. The main stem has included bark which is a hazard as the tree is right next to the property and neighbouring propeties. The owner is worred the roots will start to damage the foundations of the nearby buildings and cause costly repercussions. The roots are compressed by tiles, laid by the previous owner, which I believe has added to the decline of the tree. The owner would like to remove it before is becomes any more of a hazard and replace it with a smaller species, better suited to the space.
