Proposal
Ash (T1) to be felled- Essential tree works are required due to having severe die back in the crown and bracket fungus at the base causing the root plate to become unsafe, our engineers will use a tower hoist and MEWP to sectional dismantle the tree and reduce down the limbs and main trunk until the tree stands at a safe height of 0.3 metres to deter a trip hazard being formed. All waste will be removed from site.
