Condition Details / Information Notes
The proposed works would alter the wind-loading dynamics of the Sycamore, increasing the risk of branch failure and leading to the loss of vascular tissue and biomass. This would adversely affect the tree’s ability to uptake nutrients, produce food through photosynthesis, and carry out respiration.
