Application Details
Description

Tree Species and Reference: Lime (T1) - as identified on the sketch plan.Description of Proposed Works: Fell to ground level.Reason for Works: The basal stem exhibits extensive decay with a large area of dysfunction and an open cavity, consistent with advanced wood degradation. There is clear evidence of ascending decay, indicating progressive structural compromise originating from a root infection. The tree, approximately 4 metres in height, was last pollarded in 2010. Given the extent of decay and the presence of an open cavity at the base, the structural integrity of the stem is significantly compromised. The tree owner has expressed concern regarding the safety of retaining the tree in its current condition, particularly due to its proximity to areas of frequent access by occupants of the neighbouring property.Replacement Planting Proposal: A replacement Lime tree (Tilia - europaea) is proposed to be planted within the same vicinity, subject to site suitability. The replacement will be container-grown, approximately 10-12 cm girth, and planted during the next dormant season to ensure successful establishment.
