Proposal

T1 - The tree is a large partially dead sycamore, which is on the footpath edge. As the footpath goes south east towards the houses, it turns a corner towards the road and the tree is on this corner - to the west of the footpath. Half the the crown of the tree is dead, there is other evidence such as peeling bark demonstrating approximately half the crown is dead, it is therefore at risk of falling on footpath users. We plan to fell the tree. T2 - Hazel tree is overhanging the north eastern corner of Barrington Lodge's garden and could reach the greenhouse. The large limb is heavily weighted and hanging over the fence. We plan to coppice the stool to regenerate.
