We wish to apply for permission to prune back five sycamore tree saplings adjacent to and overshadowing our property. The saplings are on the end of an old railway embankment beside our property and adjacent to Park Road. Recently, one of these saplings broke off in windy weather and landed on our garden close to a Park Road, the public right of way on Park Road and an overhead telephone line. The sapling was 4 metres long and around 8 cm in diameter. If we had been in the garden when it fell, it could have caused us harm. Also, if the sapling had fallen in a different direction, it could have fallen on people passing by on a right of way or vehicles on Park Road. I have provided a sketch plan and photos identifying the saplings. We are concerned about risk to ourselves, our property, people passing by, passing cars and the telephone line. We emphasise, these are saplings not full size trees. There are many such saplings along with shrubs in the area but on enquiry to South Ribble Council on 1.6.26, we were advised we had to apply for planning permission for work on these.

Holly tree located in the centre of the rear garden ??? proposed removal.The tree has grown to a size that significantly restricts natural daylight to the house and garden. The dense evergreen canopy creates extensive shade throughout the year, resulting in poor grass growth, persistent moss, and ground conditions that remain damp for prolonged periods. The lack of sunlight has adversely affected the use and maintenance of the garden.The tree is also heavily covered in ivy, which makes it difficult to properly inspect its condition and raises concerns regarding its ongoing health, structural integrity, and future management.We therefore seek consent to remove the entire tree. The removal of the tree would improve natural light levels to the property and garden, allow the ground to dry more effectively, and reduce the persistent moss growth caused by the heavily shaded conditions. We will gladly replace the garden with more manageable plants and smaller trees. Thank you
