I object to the proposed removal of a healthy, mature she-oak at the front boundary. The reasons listed in the application are that it creates a mess of "pine needles" (sic), damages the fence, footpath and potentially the foundations.
The fence in question is a dilapidated, poorly constructed lattice fence, there is no formed footpath whatsoever to damage and the statement 'potentially damages' the foundations is purely speculative. Amenity pruning could be carried out to remove overhanging branches to the roof to minimise leaf litter collecting on the cottage roof, while still saving the tree.
Casuarinas are an important food-source of the black cockatoos, the numbers of which are in decline across Australia, it is therefore irresponsible to remove a healthy, mature tree that provides an important food source for an iconic species simply because it creates leaf-litter.
