Planning application

6 Vicarage Close Belper Derbyshire DE56 1TB

Granted Amber Valley TRE/2024/0483 Trees

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

This application is to reduce a large, mature Lime tree situated in a small rear garden at Vicarage Close, Belper. The tree is subject of a TPO/92 and also is within a conservation area. The tree has been subject to a previous reduction authorisation and the request is to reduce it to the previous points as before, as well as remove small amounts of epicormic growth on the lower part of the tree. Photographs supplied clearly show where the previous points reduced to last time and the size of the tree. Currently, the branches of the tree are touching the roof of the house and leaf mess is causing blockages to the guttering of the premises. It is also overhanging all the neighbouring properties. The occupant accepts the importance of the tree, the leaf mess and lack of light that comes with it, but is now concerned about the height.

    Trees to the north of the property, south side of the river bank. G1: Trim back trees along the laterally wall to maintain clearance for vehicles. Trimming back to wall and approximately 3m high. G1.1: Trees in this section are forming more of a hedge structure. Reduce in height to approximately 5m in this smaller section to prevent hedge from growing too tall. T1: Alder. Re-pollard to previous pollard points due to the re-growth becoming very long and spindly, and also growing northeast toward neighboring properties.
