Proposal

One 'Blakeney Red' Pear tree which has 'fire blight' (see accompanying image 1' and circled yellow on plan), needs to be removed and replaced with the same. One old Apple tree of unknown provenance had its main branch severed during Storm Amy and is now effectively destroyed, (see accompanying image 2 and circled black on plan). This will be removed in March when a 'scion' will be taken and grafted to new root stock.
