Council planning record

T1 & T4 – False Acacia - Fell to ground level - due to T1 heavily protruding into the driveway due to its size at the base and is becoming a hazard. T4 is heavily unbalanced and is growing into T7. No replanting due to the locations being overcrowded and are preventing mature surrounding trees (T2 & T7) from thriving. T2 – Common Yew - crown lift to 4m and reduce height by 3m. Reduce remaining laterals by 2-3m to balance. T7 - Sweet Chestnut - crown reduction by 2-3m to encourage new growth. T23 – Eucalyptus - Fell to ground level due to severe decay at base. Replace and replant in the location of T23, a 3-4 metre Amur Cork Tree. T27 – Scotts Pine - Fell to ground level to prevent subsidence, (roots found under kitchen tiles on extension). No replanting proposed there are many TPO's already on site so thinning them out benefits the others
