Consultation About A Dying Tree on East Bank Road outside 266 (our reference 12044654)

Overview

A Sorbus aria (commonly known as a Whitebeam Tree) has been identified on East Bank Road outside 266 as dying.

An assessment carried out by our tree experts noticed that the tree had Ganoderma decay fungi. 

Once removed, we propose to replace the tree with an Ulmus New Horizon (Dutch Elm Disease Resistant Elm Tree) relocating very slightly by 6 metres downhill to achieve sufficient clearance from the street lighting column.

Why your views matter

The Sheffield Tree Partnership have developed the draft Sheffield Street Tree Partnership Working 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 draft strategy is available at: https://www.wildsheffield.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/FINAL-Sheffield-Street-Tree-Partnership-Working-Strategy-July-2020.pdf
