An order has been confirmed to save six mature trees on a Sheffield street after felling work started.
Sheffield City Council’s planning and highways committee yesterday discussed the case of a tree preservation order on Stratford Road in Fulwood after officers were told that 16 mature trees were being felled last Autumn. A report published ahead of the meeting said a community tree officer visited the site and tried to stop the action but several trees had already been removed or had had their major limbs removed to leave a standing stem.
The inspection had found, the report said, that five of the 10 trees fronting Carsick Hill Crescent “were of insufficient quality to meet the high standard necessary to be included in a defensible TPO”. It added: “Four of the trees fronting Tom Lane were also of insufficient quality to be included, due to being left as standing stems by the tree surgeons.” The TPO now protects six trees from deliberate damage or removal and the committee is asked to confirm this.
