Proposal
Oak to fell (On inspection the oak is leaning at a 25degree angle and overhangs the boundary of the neighbouring property and SCDC Rookery Close car park. Roots protruding in the garden of the Old Orchard are a hazard to the occupants and demonstrate that the tree leans. The owner of the tree has monitored the tree over the last 12 years and noted the lean increases year on year.)
