Old Bush High Street Wombourne Staffordshire WV5 9DT
TPO No. 137/1994: Populus spp. (Poplar) x 2 and Acer spp. (Sycamore) x 2 - Dismantle and remove.The Poplars have a notable lean towards the building and car park, all 4 trees have historic wounds on the trunks which do show signs of occlusive growth but still with exposed wood and boring insect holes. The trees were previously pollarded in 2018, if being surveyed under BS5837 standards we would categorise them as a C1 being unremarkable with defects and limited aesthetic value.The site is under new ownership and is being fully refurbished. As part of the refurbishment the new owner would like to terrace the steep bank to the rear in order to provide outside seating spaces, the garden will be generally landscaped and they are happy to plant replacement trees of an agreed species as part of the new scheme in mitigation of the trees being removed.
