Proposal

T1552 Ash - Fell as growing next to footpath T1555 English Elm - Fell, as dead. Biforked close to ground level, tree has failed and is resting in other trees As there are numerous trees surrounding both of the specified trees and there is evidence of self seeding, there are no plans to replant any new trees, which would struggle to flourish. In the Village of Great Preston our In Bloom group have already planted 2 new trees and are planning on planting an oak tree to mark the Coronation.
