Approved on 30 September 2025

Council decision: TPO shall not be made

Proposal

Tree in the images we want to cut down completely, we have been advised that the trunk is rotten and with it continuing to lean over it is a safety hazard as it might fall in high winds. Tree is bullace we believe. There is another tree in the background on the border with our neighbour that we would like to prune/cut back and tidy up. (crown reduction 3-4m)
