Proposal

G11 marked on plan - Hawthorn - To reduce the overhang off the bus shelter by 3m to the kerb line and in relation to the remainder of the tree line, to face back the vegetation to the pathway edge and raise low branches over the footpath by 1.5 meters; T9 marked on plan - Horse Chestnut - Remove the dead branches exceding 3cm diameter - Reason: The tree is suffering from dieback in the top of its crown creating dead wood; T10 marked on plan - Rowan - Fell - Reason: Tree is in poor condition. The Health and Safety tree inspection recommends the tree is felled to ground level or monolith at 2 meters to retain standing deadwood habitat.
