I know that Applicants making a S211 notice to fell a tree in a Conservation Area do not have to give a reason for their request, but it is always a shame when they do not, because it does leave those of us who dedicate a lot of time to saving trees for the sake of our environment and amenity, groping around in the dark somewhat. Honey Locust trees can suffer from disease, but there are no clues that this one is such a tree. It is in a back garden, and might thus fail one of the usual criteria for a TPO to save it - the apparent lack of public visual amenity. But this one is clearly highly visible from school grounds and that school has either 1400 or 1700 pupils (Its 6th Form is shared, so it is difficult to be precise). Google Earth shows it to be a significant tree, and as all healthy trees are worth saving I ask the LPA AO to give this one careful consideration for a TPO. If it is too large for its space could it not be managed to deal with that, please? Thank you
