Statement of Significance
As above. Trees are exhibiting signs of stress and would benefit from reduced compaction within the root zone. This could be achieved by the removal of the footpath beneath trees A and B and the breaking up and mulching of the soil surface under all trees. If the surface soil is broken it should be by hand, and under the supervision of a qualified arborist to ensure that roots are not severed.
