Consultation About A Dying Tree on Popple Street outside 6 (our reference 12045419)

Overview

A Sorbus intermedia (commonly known as a Swedish Whitebeams) has been identified on Popple Street (outside 6) as dying.

An assessment carried out by our tree experts noticed that almost the entire of the tree was dead and actively decaying and that it is unsafe to retain

Once removed, we propose to replace the tree with a Morus nigra (Black Mulberry Tree) in the triangular raised bed at the junction of Popple St and Owler Lane.

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
