Normally the Tree Forum members do not comment on the proposed felling of a back garden tree because although the loss of any tree is an environmental catastrophe such trees do not fulfil the criterion of being highly visible by many members of the public to get themselves saved. But this time it is different.
This tree is a good specimen and is very visible. It must be seen by many people every day - those people who use the Recreation Ground in Sea Mills (part of which as a OTPC fruit orchard) and the paths associated with the public space, as the house backs on to the Recreation Ground - "The Rec". It would be a great loss if the tree went. That side of the Rec has only garages and the backs of houses in view. The garages and boundary walls, indeed all the buildings, are in excellent states of repair and have been painted, but they are still garages and the backs of houses - a very "built" scene. This tree softens that urban view and is most pleasing in doing that. It merits a TPO
