Proposal
This application mainly concerns a line of 10 Purple Beeches, Fagus sylvatica purpurea, planted c.40 years ago, with an attempt at pollarding c.25 years ago, significant squirrel damage since and considerable etiolation due to the inappropriate location and close planting. The site borders a shared access road. Rather than seeking permission for felling all 10, a compromise of pollarding all but the weakest trees is proposed, along with work to some other nearby trees. Should any of the trees fail to recover, replanting would probably be with Hazel, which has proved very successful in this location. Part of the purpose of this proposal is to protect the two mature Oaks on this site, which are being overtopped by the most etiolated Beeches. A nearby, mature and previously healthy Oak has been lost, most likely due to competition with Beech.1. Purple Beech Fagus sylvatica purpurea. Etiolated due to shading and competition.
