Proposal

T1 Yew Tree: Fell to ground level and replace with a suitable species of 12-14cm girth Reasons for removal: The tree is unsuitable for its location and is believed to be diseased (specific disease unknown), as evidenced by its sparse foliage and browning leaves. Additionally, it negatively impacts the surrounding proposed landscaping by suppressing other plants and acidifying the soil. Furthermore, the berries produced by the tree are toxic to children, potentially causing death if ingested. It is reported that the lethal dose of yew needles for an adult is approximately 50 grams, and ingestion of a lethal dose can lead to death from cardiogenic shock despite resuscitation efforts. Such risks are unacceptable in a domestic garden where children play and eat outdoors.
