Description:
Oak Tree 9 (T9) as shown on page 21 of the attached arborist report. The report states that 'T9, is in very poor condition, by way of both basal decay and the effects of truncation caused by an historic topping operation' [Page 15]. 'Tree 9 is in a poor condition with a significantly reduced safe useful life expectancy. It should be inspected annually but will need to be removed sooner rather than later, within five years' [Page 16]. Therefore, we are seeking permission to fell the tree and replace with an English Oak in the same location.
