  12. ConsentP0606/22/TPO

    Undertake work to four ash trees covered by DFTPO11 (A3). Remove two small diameter ash trees identified with pink crosses. Tree 1 and 2 on accompanying map. DBH is approximately 20cm. Situated approximately 2m away from the boundary wall but growing towards the light in a southerly direction one of which will strike the wall and shed/woodstore in the neighbouring property, Rockfields, if it fell. Both trees are suffering with the onset of ADB to stage 3 (50% to 75% canopy loss). The third tree is of larger diameter at approximately 50 cm DBH. With ADB to stage 2/3 this tree has one large limb of approximate diameter 30cm, at approximately 7m up the stem. The branch is leaning out over the garden of Rockfields and will strike the property if it fell. The removal of this one branch would reduce the risk of damage to person and property within the grounds of Rockfield. Tree four is again a large diameter with a DBH of approximately 60cm. It is growing on top/very close to the boundary wall. At approximately 5m the tree bifurcates into two large stems each of approximately 30-40cm diameter. Overall height of the tree is estimated at 20-25m. This tree has a heavy lean towards the property of Rockfields and has the capability of causing serious damage upon failing. It is also suffering ADB to stage 2. The application for work to this tree is to pollard at a height of approximately 6m in order to retain some of the stem for biodiversity and to monitor and manage accordingly.
