Proposal

REAR: ONE Robinia (T1)(ht.12m) FELL. Reason: part of tree is dead and overhangs school therefore concerns over safety. Informative A: if safe, retention of live sections of tree, natural regeneration, or planting a replacement tree is encouraged to maintain the treed setting of Mill House. Informative B: where possible please use cut branches to create habitat log piles, and/ or a linear 'dead hedge' for wildlife and biodiversity.
