DC/21/120714Works to TreesWithdrawn

Withdrawn on 26 March 2021

Council decision: Closed internally

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

Proposal

Tree of Heaven - Rear RHB. To carefully section fell as close to the ground level as possible and to poison the stump with the appropriate use of herbicide (eco plugs) to prevent regrowth. Please note, this tree is too juvenile (minimal to moderate demand on water uptake) at present to cause either subsidence if kept or heave if removed. Reason for Work: The tree is the wrong speciman for the position and place, it is also too close to the building.
