Description:
T1 Lombardy Poplar. Pollard tree to the former pollard points at a height of around 8 metres. We are seeking consent for this work to address nuisance concerns, also to address safety concerns and because it is appropriate tree management from an arboricultural perspective. This tree is very large (approx 23 metres tall) and it sits in a very restricted parking area to the front of 2 a Patrick Way. It regularly sheds dead and live twiggy material which inevitably drops onto the space, vehicles and property frontage below. It also provides a perch for pigeons which then defecate onto vehicles legitimately parked on the drive/parking space below. The tree is physically very overbearing on the frontage of the property and reduces natural daylight to the property as well. From a safety perspective, the tree has been pollarded before, approximately 25 years ago and has subsequently regenerated a very substantial crown. There is evidence of decay and necrosis of the bark/cambium layer that originates at the former pollard points. This is readily observed in one pollard point in particular, from ground level. We strongly suggest that similar decay and necrosis is likely to be developing in the other main pollard points. This would be typical for pollarded trees of this species. If a main stem were to fail due to such decay there would very likely be property damage as well as risk to people in the property or the vicinity of the property. It is well understood that trees of this species respond well to pollarding with little or no negative health effects. It is also well understood that repollarding a formerly pollarded tree is often the most appropriate form of management and we say that this is certainly true for this tree.
