Proposal

Proposed works: Fell the Eucalyptus tree in the front garden. Reasons for proposed works: The tree has a fruiting body of Ganoderma australe (Southern Bracket fungus) at its base. This wood-decay fungus can cause decay within the lower stem and roots, potentially compromising the tree's structural integrity. Given the tree's proximity to the public footpath and road, there is concern about the potential risk to pedestrians and other highway users should structural failure occur. Felling is therefore proposed as a precautionary measure to address this concern.
