223A Main Street Thornton Coalville Leicestershire LE67 1AH
Received 21 Sept 2026 - Awaiting decision26/00834/TCA
Sycamore (T1-T17)The sycamore trees are located adjacent to the highway and neighbouring residential properties, with potential targets within falling distance. The trees exhibit signs of stress and decline, including crown scorch and dieback, likely resulting from recent periods of prolonged heat and drought. Given their proximity to the highway, overhead utilities and nearby properties, further deterioration could increase the risk of branch or whole-tree failure. The proposed felling is a proactive measure to address declining trees and reduce potential risk to surrounding receptors.Hawthorn (T18-T19)The two hawthorn trees are heavily covered in ivy and substantially overhang the adjacent highway. Due to their condition and proximity to the road, it is proposed to fell the trees to ground level to mitigate the potential risk to highway users.Sycamore (T20-T24)These sycamore trees overhang the rear property boundary and extend into a neighbouring garden. It is proposed to selectively reduce branches back to the property boundary to manage encroachment and reduce the potential for branch failure, whilst retaining the overall form and appearance of the trees.
