| Proposal | Notification of the proposal to remove two young horse chestnut trees, one red the other white, in the grounds of Crowland Abbey. The trees are situated immediately to the east of the northern entrance gate. Both trees are showing splits in the bark and dieback. This may be caused by disease or even physical damage. It is proposed to replace them with another more disease resistant species. The original trees were planted so close together, there would be very limited space for both to have reached maturity. It is therefore proposed to plant just one replacement tree, an oak (Quercus sp.), a tulip tree(Liriodendron tulipifera), or a lime (Tilia euchlora). |
