Fosse Road South

Overview

Leicester City Council will be carrying out work to remove the Pear tree to the front of 106 Fosse Road South 

This tree is being removed due to an established link between the tree and property damage. The pruning of this tree is not a long-term option in this situation. 

In line with the Council’s tree policy, where trees are a present danger or nuisance (in law), the council will address this with tree works. 

Replacement planting will be undertaken, though it will not be at this location, as another tree will likely continue the nuisance.  

The Environmental Act 2021 requires us to consult with members of the public before felling any tree on an urban road (a street tree). See Environmental Act 2021, Chapter 30, Part 6, 115(2) for exceptions to this rule.

We are seeking views on our proposal to remove this tree.
