Received 7 Aug 2019 - Tree Work App + Cond Conditions/ReasonsT0043.23
Please refer to the tree survey p. 35 for aerial sketch plan. Additional seperate sketch plan has also been provided with street names, addresses, north direction indicator as requested. T5 - Robinia pseudo acacia: remove due to poor condition including dieback of canopy and dead branches, as described in the tree report (on the TPO, this is numbered a part of a group of trees, G2). This tree has been in decline for a number of years, is unattractive and has limited amenity value. We are concerned that this tree may pose a danger in case of storm. We think the landscape would be improved by removal and replacement per our proposed plan. T6 - Ilex aquifolium: remove to facilitate proposed landscaping scheme T4 - Taxus beccata: remove to facilitate proposed landscaping scheme. This is a self seeded tree that is growing underneath more dominant tree (T3 Ash) so has limited potential in the garden. These trees will be replaced with 3 birch (Betula) trees. Approximate size 45L 10-12cm multi stem. Please see proposed planting plan for location of new trees.
