Council planning record

Trees are situated on Abbey lodge retirement village, land owned by Stone water Housing association Tpo Lime tree group approximately 27 trees. Previous application was refused due to surveyor not in agreement with the reduced height stipulated. Please can we now have permission to reduce the tree group by 4-5 meters proportionality in accordance with British standards BS3998. As previously discussed the trees are very tall for where they are situated with narrow trunks for their height and have extremely long crown limbs. Trees of this height have a higher risk of wind exposure, there have been previously storm damaged trees that have fallen on the adjacent houses in the last 2 years. Reducing the group would help reduce the risk of failure and help prevent the potential for building damage keeping neighbours and residents safe. Please find attached arial maps highlighting the trees in red and photographs.
