The property in question garden consists of five tall trees situated in our garden where the branches are extremely long and are falling down. During the evenings in recent days, tall long thick branches have fallen down and have nearly caused injury to my partner and myself while walking in our garden. We consider that the trees are a health and safety hazard to not only ourselves but to guests entering our home. For these reasons and in these circumstances, we kindly request that the Council allow consent for the applicant to instruct a tree surgeon to remove the five trees (entirely). I file with this application a copy of the title plan of the property edged in red together with 5 areas highlighted in green showing approximately where the trees are situated. I also enclose a larger plan zoomed in for the council's ease of reference. For any avoidance of doubt the trees are not privy to any Tree Preservation Order. I would respectfully ask the Council to allow permission for the removal of the trees as we have genuine concerns of the health and safety of the occupiers residing at the property. The trees are all situated in the demise of the property. Amendment: We have been in dialogue with the applicant, and they have agreed to manage the trees by pruning back to the most recent previous pruning points. The ivy can be girdled 2m clearance at the base. This will allow more light into the garden and allow easier future tree inspections at the base. The tree closest to the structure is a dead (past reduction) cherry. This tree is exempt and can be removed. Due to the adequate tree cover within the vicinity the need to re plant is not necessary. One Lime tree is an original boundary tree to the fence line. A fence contractor will be able to find a working practical solution. A reputable Arborist or Consultant will be able to provide any further and future management advice for the trees.
