Proposal
TPO/003/20211 x Holm Oak - Fell to ground level as the 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.Reason: Following receipt of AT Coombes report and consultation with the chapel owner and both Arboricultural & Landscape Officer & Arboricultural & Landscape Manager, we advised the chapel owner to withdraw previous application DC/21/2586/TPO to reduce the tree. The chapel owner has now submitted an application to fell, the tree owner also in agreement. AT Coombes report recommends a 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. However, given the trees overall poor structural condition, its lean and along with the cavity at base, the Arboricultural & Landscape team support its removal, due to number of trees on site in this instance no need to replace
