  6. Final Decision2025/2813

    Tree Preservation Order EL:09/13:Proposed Works: Selectively reduce lateral limbs overhanging the applicant's property by up to 3 m, targeting the longest and heaviest sections to alleviate end weight and reduce leverage on the main scaffold limbs. Pruning will follow BS 3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations, maintaining a natural crown outline and good growth points. The works will rebalance the canopy, lessen mechanical loading, and improve long-term structural stability while retaining the tree's amenity and health.Justification for Works: The oak is a mature specimen displaying a pronounced lean and asymmetrical crown, with several large lateral limbs extending heavily over the applicant's driveway and vehicles. The crown is significantly weighted on the side facing the applicant's property, increasing mechanical stress on the primary scaffold limbs and contributing to structural imbalance. A large beech tree previously failed on the same site, falling onto the adjacent house. This has raised understandable concerns for both the tree owner and the neighbouring property owner regarding the potential risk of limb failure from this oak, particularly during high winds or adverse weather conditions.
