Proposal

T008 English Oak tree: Crown reduce height by up to 4m radially and reduce crown spread by 2m. Reason: Significant decay present in stem base presenting a higher risk of stem failure with a full crown. Carrying out a crown reduction will mitigate risk for stem failure in high winds at Lukes Close, Wellington
