Aside from the fact that we are seeing a lot of established trees removed in the area, there is very little information pertaining to the reason for the removal of these trees. What type of trees are they? Are they native to the area and therefore providing both habitat for wildlife and shelter for humans & wildlife. Are they mature age trees? Are they diseased? ( It would seem strange for 6 trees to have a fungus?) Are any of dead or dying and at risk of falling on property or a safety risk?
I am not sure if this is all the information that the Willoughby council received on this application, but I think that it is critical that more information be required to make an informed decision.
