Council decision: PermittedDelegated (officer decision)

Approximate location: the centre of the postcode, not the exact property.

Proposal

T1 - Sycamore - Fell Reasons - major cracking at the base of the tree, which appears to start below ground level, and continues vertically up the main stem, finishing between two main stems. The union between these two stems is weak, and the crack is evidence that failure of one or both stems is a high possibility. - Photos attached identify the crack. T2 - Beech - Fell Reasons - Beech bark disease was identified in a previous application to fell this tree. The disease has progressed to a stage where little cambium remains at the the base of the tree. The complete girdling of the tree due to lack of bark/cambium is possible in the next season or so. The crown has now died back fairly extensively due to the disease. I recommend felling because I feel the tree can now not survive and a risk of the failure of limbs or the entire tree over the road is a high possibility. - Photos identify the lack of bark at the base of the tree.
