Barnby Methodist Church The Street Barnby Beccles Suffolk NR34 7QB
Proposal
1 x Holm Oak - Fell to ground level, tree leans towards the chapel by approx. 20 degrees, with approx. 60% of the crown extending over the chapel and a cavity at the base of tree. Owner instructed Arboricultural Consultants AT Coombes to inspect the tree (see attached report) and recommend tree works, their report recommended heavy reduction taking the height from 17mto 14m and reducing crown spread by up to 3m to reduce risk of windthrow, regular inspections / works including picus test. Following consultation with both Arboricultural & Landscape Officer & Arboricultural & Landscape Manager, the chapel owner has now submitted an application to fell, tree owner also in agreement. We believe the tree to be in moderate to poor structural condition and the lean along with cavity at base, and support its removal. Due to number of trees on site in this instance no need to replace.
