Plan to cut down a mature Beech tree (T149) due to disease and replant with a Walnut tree near the current location.

Full Proposal

T149 Mature Beech - Fell to ground level, due to fruiting bodies of Meripilus Giganteus found at north, east and south sides, as well as more prevalent bleeding, likely Phytophthora, evident since 2017. The crown is becoming increasingly sparse, with early yellowing of leaves. The tree is adjacent to the main campus road and a footpath. Replant with one standard Walnut, as near to current tree as possible.
