Proposal
FRONT: ONE Sycamore (T1)(ht.14m) FELL to the ground. Reason: A 5m retaining wall within 2m that borders a school has structural damage. An inspection was carried out by a builder and the wall cannot be rebuilt until the tree is removed. A large buttress has moved away from the wall. Removal should be undertaken to prevent any health & safety issues in the future. Tree replanting proposal: A native pollinator will be planted in the grounds as a replacement.
