Council decision: Raise No ObjectionDelegated (officer decision)

Approximate location: the centre of the postcode, not the exact property.

Proposal

REAR: ONE Eucalyptus (T1)(ht.10m) FELL. Reason: it is not a native species, dries the surrounding soil, suppressing an adjacent apple tree, appears to have basal decay and to have been topped previously at approx.7m above ground level with resulting poor branch regrowth structure and likely weak branch forks in the crown (ref DC/12/079480). Informative: a replacement small tree and hedging for urban greening environmental benefits, with gaps in garden boundaries for hedgehog highway connectivity, would be greatly appreciated. Tree species such as hawthorn, hazel, elder, goat willow, dogwood, holly, Amelanchier, flowering dogwood, witch hazel, Prunus 'autumnalis', magnolia, wild privet, crab apple, Clerodendron trichotomum, Tibetan cherry, Ceanothus Trewithin Blue.
