Proposal

Fell Cherry Tree in back garden in Conservation Area. This tree approx 6 metres tall and 30 years old has bad canker in a main branch and has recently developed a significant tilt. I am concerned it could fall on the patio and injure someone. Last year we planted sapling plum and pear trees within 3 metres of this tree so we do not propose to plant further extra extra trees on removing this cherry tree.
