Council planning record

T001 Copper beech (Fagus sylvatica purpurea) - Sectionally dismantle and fell.T001 is situated approximately 1.2 metres from the dwelling, with 6?7 metres of canopy overhang, resulting in physical interference with the building, retaining wall damage consistent with root expansion, shading of habitable rooms, and ongoing maintenance burden . Although assessed as a tolerable risk, its retention would require repeated pruning that is considered unsustainable and likely to compromise its long-term form . The report also notes that the tree?s public visibility and wider amenity value are limited, with substantial surrounding tree cover maintaining local character . Replacement planting in a more suitable location within the garden is recommended , ensuring continued tree cover without the existing structural conflict or adverse impact on the enjoyment of the property.
