    Outcome in report

    T1 - Lawson cypress tree - Fell Reasons - Small tree with no significant amenity value. It is potentially outcompeting the Blue Atlas cedar immediately adjacent. The Atlas cedar has a number of main branches growing through the Lawson cypress. The Atlas Cedar is a more important specimen; the removal of the Lawson cypress will improve the vigour, form, and potential life span of the Cedar.
