Consultation About A Dying Tree on Abbey Lane outside number 69 (our reference 12046493)

Overview

A Crataegus monogyna (commonly known as a Hawthorn tree) has been identified on Abbey Lane outside number 69 as dying.

An assessment carried out by our tree experts identified that the tree is dying, with only approximately 10% of the crown volume remaining alive.  Therefore the tree is unsuitable for retention. 

Once removed, we propose to replace the tree with a Quercus robur (Pedunculate oak tree), centrally in verge outside number 73 (relocated 20m to a clear open verge).

Why your views matter

The Sheffield Tree Partnership have developed the Sheffield Street Tree Partnership Strategy.  This sets out our commitment to explain to local residents the reasons behind decisions to remove trees, and provide the opportunity to challenge these decisions through an open and transparent process.

A copy of the strategy is available at: https://www.wildsheffield.com/getinvolved/sheffield-street-tree-partnership/street-tree-strategy/
