View council mapTree Location:Front garden, adjacent to the front boundary wall.Tree Description:One mature tree located within the front garden.Species: EucalyptusApproximate height: Position: Within close proximity to the front boundary wall.Proposed Works:Fell one mature tree to ground level and remove arisings from site.Grind out stump to below ground level (approximately 300mm) to prevent regrowth and allow inspection and repair of adjacent masonry.Reason for Proposed Works:The tree is causing ongoing structural damage to the front boundary wall. Evidence of cracking, displacement, and distortion is present and is consistent with both root-related ground movement and direct mechanical pressure from the trunk due to its immediate proximity to the wall. Retention of the tree would result in continued and progressive damage to the wall and associated safety risks.The proposed removal represents the minimum necessary intervention to prevent further damage and enable repair and long-term stability of the boundary wall. Crown reduction or pruning would not resolve the underlying issue due to the extent of root involvement and trunk size.Method of Work:All works will be carried out by a competent and insured arboricultural contractor in accordance with industry best practice. The tree will be dismantled in a controlled manner to avoid damage to surrounding structures and neighbouring land. All arisings will be removed from site and disposed of responsibly.Replacement Planting:We propose one replacement tree of an appropriate species and size may be planted within the garden at a suitable distance from buildings and boundaries, subject to site constraints.
