  14. Decision MadeP25/S1978/TCA

    Update to P23/S3718/TCA originally submitted November 2023 and approved without restrictions. One of a set of 6 poplars planted in 2000, the tree requiring surgery is unstable and in imminent risk of falling. On the plan the tree specific to this application is indicated as tree 'B'. When considered as part of P23/S3718/TCA it was decided that removal of the most unbalanced branch would have been inadequate to stabilise the tree. The tree as a whole has now keeled further from its original upright position, the centre of gravity lying well outside the main bole. The root ball is increasingly rising out of the ground and a prop has been installed under one of the branches to prevent an uncontrolled collapse. The works will involve pollarding the three main branches of the tree down to a manageable level to ensure the danger of an uncontrolled collapse is removed. A replacement poplar has been planted to compensate for the loss of this tree.

    3 x Leylandii (T11, T10 and T9 on plans) suffered wind damage in recent storm (photos attached) and tree surgeon advised to top them back to previous topping level to mitigate risk of further damage and having to remove them completely. Topping back to previous level would be around 40% of the current height. 1 x Birch - Has been in decline for past two years or more. Large branches overhang the road and there is a risk to road users if the tree is not removed. The is "virtually" dead with only one small of shoot showing any sign of life. 3 x elms - these are small trees but are showing signs of disease and also block light to the other larger trees on the plot. Tree surgeon advised their removal. All trees can be felled / topped back into our garden. Tree surgeon used to advise on works was Tom Cottrell

  23. Decision MadeP21/S3194/TCA

    T1 - Over mature Hazel - recoppice to restore vigour. T2 - Ageing Cherry - remove to ground level. T3 - Dying Silver Birch - remove to ground level. TG4 - two small beech stems - planted as part of a hedge/shrub bed around the house. Remove before they get too big and cause direct damage to the house. T5 - Over mature Hazel - recoppice to restore vigour. T6 - Over mature Hazel - recoppice to restore vigour. T7 - Yew - very close to house, oppressive and makes the adjacent rooms very dark. The tree requires repeated pruning to prevent it from damaging the face and gutters of the property. Roots have completely blocked adjacent drain (plastic pipes that were upgraded a few years ago) and soakaway which has now had to be re-routed to avoid the same thing happening again in the future. The tree is twin stemmed and only can only be viewed from limited glimpses from outside the property. The applicants will plant a replacement tree to mitigate for its removal - further away from the house. T8 - Robinia sucker. Remove to ground level (very small - on the cusp of the 75mm diameter when measured at 1.5m above ground level). Over mature shrubs around the garden - around the perimeter and within site - carry out a restoration prune to restore vigour and regenerate growth. Crown clean to remove deadwood from other trees and vegetation within the site.
