Council decision: Consent toDelegated (officer decision)

Proposal

Commemorative Elms - Church Street Elms (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9, T10, T11, T12) Stump of approximately 1m with juvenile epicormic regrowth. Extensively decayed; central core of main stem is completely hollow, with thin outer shell of residual wood remaining. Remove completely. Due to Dutch Elm disease & the nature of the heavy pollard, both the physical and visual situation will never be able to improve as the trees will never reform to a meaningful shape or size. Churchyard - Black Locust (T10) Remove torn-out branch at 13m and deadwood. Common Ash (T51) Completely Remove Ivy and broken decayed crown stem. Reduce by 3cm. Common Ash (G2) Two semi-mature self-sown ash growing adjacent to ivy-covered grave. Inappropriate location. Remove, treat stumps.
