Existing order TPO T2/109I request permission to remove T16 Poplar. It is excessively large and impeding the growth of a smaller more suitably sized Alder (T17). The Poplar roots are causing a nuisance by growing into the sewer pipes; we have had to contact the insurance to advise about how to protect the drains from blocking. Also the roots are causing the tarmac drive to distort. The canopy is very large and overhangs the garage and interferes with the telephone wires to both our house and the mill belonging to Wm Lawrence LTD of Grane RoadI request permission to prune T17 Alder to a more suitable shape following the felling of T16. I propose to encourage growth of the Alder shoots (already approximately 2m high) which have established closer to the roadside which will provide a prominent tree frontage to the road.
