    The tree is a large lime located opposite 1 Yewbarrow Estate, Grange Over Sands, LA11 6EB on land under the ownership on South Lakes Housing, see '001 Location Plan'. The tree has died back in one half of the crown, suspected accidental poisoning being the cause. We want to fell the tree as per the advice from from Ryan Kearney, Arboricultural Officer at W&F (found in '004. Emails with W&F') 'Due to the proposed works, along with the poisoning, the tree is no longer safe. The increased target area of the car parking and the further potential damage to roots would mean that any form of mitigated pruning may prove redundant in the long run. Therefor I would suggest firstly felling the tree, ideally soon. Secondly to mitigate the loss and to avoid a possible breach of conditions I would provide an amended location plan and planting plan in line with conditions 2 and 6'. The works being referred to are the redevelopment of Yewbarrow Lodge, application number SL/2023/0467.

    TREE ONE: Cherry Tree in area G9 of TPO 241 2012. This tree is situated in the NE corner of my garden at Foxwood House adjacent to the power sub-station for Birkrigg Park Estate. If not already dead, it is leaning badly & suffering from severe crown dieback along with multiple trunk infestations. I would like to remove this tree before it falls down causing potential damage to surrounding trees and/or any passing individuals. In anticipation of eventually losing this tree, I have mitigated by recently planting ten young trees along my Northern boundary including Willow, Catalpa, Rowan, Sorbus, Crab Apple and Tulip. TREES TWO & THREE: Sycamore (x2) in area G9 of TPO 241 2012 These trees are situated in the opposite corner of my garden adjacent to Red Lane. I propose to remove some lower branches from both trees in order to let more light into my failing Laurel hedge beneath.

What these statistics cover

These figures describe applications collected by PlanningTrack for Westmorland and Furness Council, across all dates currently available. They are a partial dataset, rather than an authority-wide performance measure. The date range does not establish continuous historical coverage.

The approval percentage is approved records divided by approved plus refused records. Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded. No percentage is shown until there is an approved or refused record.
