Dead Silver Birch tree to the rear of the property. The tree is located adjacent to the shed in the back garden of 8 Marshall Close as per the attached sketch map. This is the same tree that we previously applied for permission to fell in November 2020 (SHBC Ref TTP/20/0398). Since the last inspection the tree has been in decline and is now dying/dead with barely any leaves at all this year. As in our previous application we would prefer to retain the tree but fear that it is now in such poor condition that it might fall in a storm onto our property or our neighbours.
