- Description:
- Location G2, One Sycamore on driveway, as per location drawing attached. This tree was granted in November 6th approval to reduce crown and remove lower branches. Having reviewed the feedback from Garden Rescue we wish to remove the Sycamore Tree due to the Hollowness of the lower trunk and Basal Decay. We are now worried about it falling on the drive in a storm given we are aware of its current state. The recommendation from Garden Rescue is full removal.
