1no. Pine (twin stemmed) - Dismantle & remove to ground level. Both stems showing signs of decline & potentially interfering with road surface & boundary wall footings due to proximity, greater detail in file attached to application. Tree owner is open to replanting.

1. CONSENT TO: 1no. Pine (twin stemmed) - Dismantle & remove to ground level
2. One (1) replacement tree is required to be planted to replace the pine. The replacement tree shall be either Dutch elm disease-resistant elm (e.g. Ulmus 'New Horizon'), field maple (Acer campestre), sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua) or other species to be first agreed in writing by the Council. It shall be supplied in accordance with BS3936-1:1992 as a minimum of a Selected Standard (10-12cm girth measured 1m from ground and 300-350cm height from ground). The replacement tree shall be planted within 5 metres of the pine. It shall be planted in the first planting season (October-February inclusive) immediately following the removal of the pine. Planting practice shall adhere to BS8545:2014. Reason: To conserve the character of the locality. Note to Applicant: The replacement tree will need to be regularly watered through at least the first two growing seasons. The tree should be watered with 20-30L of water (grey water is fine for this) twice a week commencing early spring. The use of a circle of 1m and 80-100mm depth of hardwood-based woodchip mulch spread around the tree (whilst be kept out of direct contact with the stem) can assist with water conservation as well as reducing competition with weeds.
