| Proposal | Works to a large weeping willow tree within the grounds of and at the north side of the entrance driveway to Willow Lodge, Thary Lane, Surfleet, identified as T7 of Surfleet TPO No. 10 1996.
The weeping willow concerned is an old pollarded willow with an overall crown height of approximately 17 metres, pollarded at around 12 metres. This application is to re-pollard to approximately 4 metres below previous pollard points leaving substantial growth points. Large limbs have already started to shed from over weight re-growth. Two identified fungi are also present both possibly indicating white rot: Bjerkandera adusta and Coprinus atramentarius, particularly the former. |
