Street tree consultation at Bay Road

Bay road street tree consultation

Consultation reference: 001

Start date: Tuesday 30 April 2024

End date: Wednesday 29 May 2024

Location: Bay Road, Bracknell

Number of trees: 2

Tree species: oak and ash

Reason for removal

These trees are the cause or a significant contributing factor in subsidence damage to 26 Burlsdon Way.

We have considered other solutions, including:

  • pruning
  • root barriers
  • underpinning

However, on balance, these solutions are not reasonably practical or affordable in this case.

Proposed replacement planting 

Our proposed replacement trees include:

  • 1 English oak tree on the grass area in Burlsdon Way
  • 2 wild cherry trees on the grass verge at the junction of Bay Road and Bullbrook Drive
