Purpose

Buckinghamshire Highways has proposed the removal of trees on Maxwell Road, Beaconsfield. Some of the trees are causing upheaval of the footpaths and surrounding areas and may cause a safety hazard to footpath and road users.  The scope of this scheme is to improve the safety of vulnerable non- motorised road users by improving the existing infrastructure for sustainable transport.

Decision

Recommendations:               

That the Leader approves recommendation to remove four trees on Maxwell Road, Beaconsfield, which are in poor health and pose unacceptable potential risk of harm to the public.

Note should be also be made that we currently have an agreement with an adjacent land owner that saves two trees initially identified for removal. If this permission is revoked during final design stages it is a further recommendation to remove these two additional trees.
