Proposal

Fell and remove three trees: 1. mature oak 90% dead with only small clumps of live foliage remaining. Not suitable for retention. 2. WychElm. Quite large for the species (which frequently dies before achieving great stature) but with crown strongly disposed to the south-east. However the crown shows evidence of Dutch Elm Disease, some foliage already brown and shrivelled and much of the rest wilted,showing that the disease is well established and that the tree is likely to die within 12 months. 3. Sycamore. Evidently a self-sown tree. Crown rather one-sided, disposed to the East. No significant defects, but a generally unexceptional tree.
