Purpose: The tree is a mature Pedunculate Oak (Quercus robur) that appears to be exhibiting normal vigour and vitality for the species – a detailed VTA was not possible due to access restrictions and as such the tree’s full condition has not been assessed. The Oak is located within the rear garden of a residential dwelling and provides an unobstructed view from the highway – offering a high level of public amenity value to the street scene. There is development on site and there has already been a degree of site clearance – potential for tree loss or damage is foreseeable.
