Permission is sought to fell a walnut tree protected by a tree preservation order due to significant decline and crown dieback.

Full Proposal

Fell Walnut covered by T1 of Tree Preservation Order number DFTPO 124. The tree is exhibiting significant physiological decline, with extensive crown dieback (approximately 40-60%), sparse foliage and poor overall vigour. A sympathetic crown reduction was undertaken in 2023 as a retention measure; however, the tree has continued to decline despite this intervention, indicating limited long-term retention potential.
