P26/S1757/TPO

Description

A large section of a Horse Chestnut tree (TPO 0748) broke off and fell onto the river bank and river, damaging a boat and mooring. The tree is located at Walliscote Farm Moorings, High Street, Whitchurch, RG8 7EP. The tree now has a large hole approximately 4ft from the ground (images to be provided). Inside the hole, parts of the wood is soft with an unpleasant smell. I consider the tree to be in a dangerous condition and a risk to users of the river and neighbouring moorings. We have had a previous large limb (approx 2024) which fell onto the track that is used by other boat owners. Since then the tree was surveyed. The tree also has another large limb, which is currently being supported by a neighbouring tree. This limb is on the same side as the large hole, which is concerning. We would like to fully remove the tree.
