View council mapNo tree pruning or root pruning. As advised by Tree Officer Jason Cox via email on 6th January 2023, this application is for the installation of 14 ground screws within the RPA of T3 &T4 - mature beech trees covered by TPO. An Arboricultural Method Statement is provided to support this application and guide the construction process. The installation of the ground screws has the potential to adversely affect TPO'ed trees, therefore a suitably qualified arboricultural consultant has assessed the proposals, advised on suitable foundations and provided a method statement for the construction of a summerhouse.
