Investigating
Ash tree growing large and into communication wires
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7027880.
The ash tree is is growing quite large and with recent storms poses a risk to my and neighbouring properties should it fall. Another ash tree was toppled in a recent storm and a tree specialist who was chopping it up that I spoke to regarding pruning some large trees on my property said that had the ash been pollarded it would have developed a larger root plate and been less likely to have toppled. It also would have made it less susceptible to ash die back. I know bats and owls roost in this tree so I would like it protected but also protect the cabling and surrounding properties. It abutts my boundary fence.
