Decision & conditions
Planning conditions
- T1 - Oak - Remove dead branches. T2 - Oak - Crown reduction of 3 to 4 metres. Existing height 20-22 metres. East west spread 20 metres. North south spread 15 metres. Remove dead wood. Reason: To reduce end weighting of upper extended limbs to shape and blend with adjacent Oaks and to reduce risk of future limb failure. Recent major failure of extended limb to east. Upper canopy overhang of 3.5 metres over roof line. T3,T4,T5 - Oak - Remove dead branches. T7 - Remove Cherry tree. Reason: Poor quality tree. Replace with Oak staked and tied as appropriate. T8 - Ash - Remove. Reason: Early mature tree. Poor quality, suppressed by adjacent trees with canopy bias/lean towards adjacent property. To allow semi-mature Oak immediately adjacent space to develop.
