St Saviours Road tree felling

Overview

Leicester City Council is proposing to remove one semi-mature Lime tree. This tree is situated within the footpath on St Saviours Road to the front of no.133.

We are planning to remove this tree due to an established link between the tree and property damage. 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 The pruning of these trees is not a long-term option in this situation.

The replacement planting of the felled tree will be undertaken in line with our tree strategy.

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.
