Rackham Close Environmental Improvement Works - Proposed Removal of Existing Tree

Rackham Close, Proposed Tree Removal

The following notification was sent to local Councillors in relation to a plan to remove a tree from Rackham Close;

"In accordance with the Tree Protocol for the Consultation and Determination of Tree Work Operations to Trees on City Council Owned Land I am e-mailing to advise that one of our Environmental Improvement schemes on Rackham close (in the North Area) includes the proposed removal of an existing tree. Please find attached a notice that will be attached to the tree effected which confirms its location and gives some background to the Environmental Improvement scheme generally. For awareness Public consultation has already been carried out for the scheme and did include details of the proposed removal of the tree and there has been no concerns raised by the local residents.

As per the Tree Protocol it would be appreciated if you could please advise me of any concerns you have in relation to the removal of the tree within 5 working days or indicate if you require an additional 5 working days to consider the proposal. If no concerns are raised, for awareness we are looking to arrange for the tree to be removed as soon as possible before we commence the main Environmental Improvement works.

Thank you in advance, if you have and questions then please do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards,

Gavin Card - Acting Project Team Leader
Cambridge City Council
Project Delivery and Environment Team"
