  22. Decided2021/0043/TPO

    The map of the trees on our land we have been provided with is largely out of date and it is difficult to establish which tree is which as there are trees on the map that have been removed and our property is not even built on the map. I sought advice from the council who advised this is not a concern or an issue when completing this. We have sought advice from tree experts - ARB works.One tree, a sycamore (possibly T23) requires felling and removal due to a large part of trunk diseased.Removal of trees (T26, T27, T28) all sycamores due to encroaching on property and causes issues to roof and cars. Also making it a falling hazard due to falling residue on path and access to house as well as driveway. Neighbouring properties also complained of this issue. In addition, all other trees (possibly T19, T21, T22, T29) to be crown lifted by removal of epicormic growth on stems. If the removal of trees is declined, then trees (T26, T27, T28) to be crown lifted by removal of epicormic growth on stems along with the rest as well as crown lifting 2 x sycamore (possibly T28 and T29) to rear of property by removal of lower branches and over hang.
