Planning application
55 Tamworth Street Duffield Belper Derbyshire DE56 4EZ
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
Further to my conversation with Fergus, DCC Tree Officer, I propose a 2m crown reduction to the Goat Willow (marked with a blue line on the attached plan) and the removal of the conifer (marked with a yellow line on the attached plan) The reason being that a tree in this location was blown over across the public footpath and damaged our neighbours property. The trees are in falling distance of our house, the neighbours house and the public footpath. The tree officer advised that a crown reduction would reduce the chance of the willow being blown over. We are retaining a large number of trees along the boundary and the proposed work does not adversely impact amenity. Additionally, we note our intention to remove any branches on any of the trees along our boundary that obstruct the public footpath up to a height of 2.4m above the footpath and any branches that obstruct our driveway, up to 2.4m above ground level.
