Proposal

T1, Sycamore - To fell and grind out stump Reason - Roots are lifting pre-cast driveway and the roots are too close to the stem to be cut out as this would destabilise the tree. Most appropriate action would be to remove the tree and replant a replacement further away from the driveway. (TPO 57 of 2007)
