Residents on the Musters Road estate have been concerned about Avant Homes removing a mature 17m ash tree from the eastern edge of the new Wilbur Chase housing development site.
I’ve now been told that the tree was hollow and diseased, and would have caused a safety hazard once surrounded by houses. This is a great shame because such trees are a great source of biodiversity but, unfortunately, it had to go.
