  22. Decision MadeP26/S0905/TPO

    I am applying to remove a TPO on a tree in my private garden, my garden is not a conservation area. Tree is not in great condition and branches are falling off it into my and my neighbours garden that are quite large causing a health and safety risk to life. Fallen branches have caused damage to my and my neighbours garden. The tree is now disproportionately large for its setting and is poorly suited to its current location. In its present form, it is of low overall quality, is not visually significant within the wider streetscape, and makes only a limited contribution to the character and appearance of the area. In recognition of the importance of maintaining tree cover, the homeowner is Simon Turner and Lorna Hayes are willing and committed to planting a replacement tree. It is proposed that this replacement would be: - A more appropriate species. - Planted in a better and more suitable location. - Better able to thrive long-term and contribute positively to local amenity. It is considered that this approach would result in a net benefit to the landscape, providing a healthier and more sustainable tree that is more appropriate for its surroundings.
