Proposal

Yew x 2 - Toxicity Risk: All parts of the Yew tree are highly poisonous to humans and animals. These trees in a community garden used by children, families, and dogs presents a significant and ongoing safety risk, create an unavoidable hazard, particularly for young children who may accidentally ingest plant material. ? Animal Safety: Dogs visiting the garden are at risk of poisoning from chewing or ingesting Yew foliage or seeds. Removal of the trees is the only practical long-term measure to eliminate the toxicity hazard in a high-use public space. replanting proposal For the tree that is closest to the house we propose to replant a Torbay palm as it will look attractive and grow to a good height once mature without impacting on the house foundations. For the second tree that is further away for the house we propose a maple tree as it will be impressive in stature and look attractive for the community
