    T1 Multistem Sycamore - FELL due to location, tree bole is growing out of a drystone retaining wall, is in close proximity to neighbouring properties and shared pedestrian access. T2 Multistem Ash - FELL due to location, tree bole is growing out of a drystone retaining wall, is in close proximity to neighbouring properties and shared pedestrian access. T3 Elm - FELL due to location, tree bole is growing at the top of a drystone retaining wall/limestone outcrop and is in close proximity to neighbouring properties and shared pedestrian access. Felled trees will be replaced by small fruiting trees such as plum or apple as part of the restoration of this land to a productive garden in accordance with the covenant placed on the title. As the plot is close to dwellings, an MM106 rootstock will be specified to limit ultimate height. Trees will be planted away from existing retaining walls.

    As part of a development project at the Cavendish Hotel it is necessary to remove the trees highlighted in this application. There is a building application already lodged and approved with the PDNP with the application no. NP/DDD/0522/0703. The six trees that are highlighted are as follows T1 and T2 goat willows, T3 silver birch, T4 Norway spruce and T5 and T6 hawthorn. As part of the building application approval it states that any trees removed will be done so on a one to one basis. It is our intention to replace with six ornamental cherries in the area highlighted on the sketch plan which will become a sensory garden. We feel this is the best choice of species as it is in keeping with the numerous cherries that are planted around the car park.

    To remove 5 x Ash trees (two with severe die-back disease, 1 x Sycamore tree (growing too close to the farmhouse), 5 x Elder trees (old) and 2 Hawthorn trees, plus some Damson saplings and privet hedging. The trees are mainly around the perimeter of the rear garden. To replace these removed trees with the following: 1x Walnut tree, 1 x Sweet Chesnut tree, 1 x Hazel Nut tree, These three trees are grown on semi-vigorous/vigorous root stock. Additionally, 1 x Quince tree, 1 x Oak tree, 2 x Hawthorn trees and 1 x Elder tree. I'm assuming these will be full-size as they are grown from seed. Finally, there are 1 x Dessert Apple tree, 1 x Cooking Apple tree, 1 x Pear tree and 1 x Cherry tree. These last four trees are on semi-dwarfing root stock which should reach a height of 3m.

    We have a sycamore tree to the left of our property (as you face the property). We have been advised by a tree surgeon that it requires a crown lift. Specifically we have one low branch which is overhead of parked cars on our driveway. One area of branch is too close to the telephone poles and wires. In addition we have a further branch which is overhanging the village pond and is rather too close to our neighbours house.

    One Mature Alder (approx 18 meters high) on the bank of the river Noe 8 meters from the property. Multiple cavities from previous pruning cuts to a height of 7 meters. I don't think an aerial inspection is required to know that these cavities are to numerous and the likely hood of decay is high. While the tree is unlikely to hit the property if it fails it will remove a large amount of river bank and garden. I suggest coppice the alder to retain the root structure and protect the river bank.

    The tree stands in the garden at the back of our house at the eastern corner of the house, close to the wall + Park Hall Brook. At its closest point the branches of the tree are about a metre from the house wall + 0.75 of a metre from the wall by the stream. The roots have lifted flags to the footpath around the house which are often slippy because it is shaded by the tree. The proximity of the tree to both the house and the boundary wall can be seen as as insurance risk by some companies. The tree is a Cypree or Leylandii whih has seriously outgrown its space.

    Shown in the photographs are a row of beech that I am requesting to reduce roughly to the height indicated by the red line but this will be dictated by suitable growth points that are available. The customer wishes them to be reduced as they were planted as a screen at the edge of their property and don’t want them growing into mature trees. The tree I wish to remove is an apple that is weighted towards the boundary wall and as you can see from the photograph provided is in poor condition. I request that this be removed fully in order to remove the risk of failure and damage to the wall.

    Shown in the photographs are three apple trees requesting to reduce to the indicated height to reduce the risk of failure and to make more manageable for the tenant in future. There is also a holly that has grown right up against the building and is starting to damage it. I request that it be removed before any further damage occurs. Finally there are some pruning works to undertake around the building at the bottom right of the sketch plan. There are an assortment of trees but the only two larger than 7cm DBH are an apple and walnut that are shown in the photograph. I request that these be pruned back to the clearance indicated by the red line.

These figures describe applications collected by PlanningTrack for Peak District National Park Authority, across all dates currently available. They are a partial dataset, rather than an authority-wide performance measure. The date range does not establish continuous historical coverage.

The approval percentage is approved records divided by approved plus refused records. Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded. No percentage is shown until there is an approved or refused record.
