REPLY:

Following a commitment to prune the tree given at the ACM in June 2025, the tree at the location in question was pruned on 14/10/2025. The tree was inspected recently and does not warrant removal.  There are no further works necessary for the tree at this time.

The trees in Cherbury estate are listed for pruning on the current Tree Maintenance Programme. Prior to works commencing a full survey of all trees will be carried out to determine the extent of the tree maintenance requirement. Arising from that survey, any works considered necessary will be scheduled for attention. The tree in question will be inspected again as part of this process.
