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

Proposal

Tree 1- Green leaved flowering cherry. Plan is to fell the tree as it is in poor health and there is a pronounced lean towards the house. Over the last few years there has been a significant reduction in foliage and very little fruit in marked contrast to previous years. It has recently been examined by arborist Kurt Elliott (Pennine Gardens and Trees) who confirms it to be a ???sick tree???. See photos TW24Photo 01, 02, 03, 14. Tree 2- Tall fir tree, believed to be a used Christmas tree which was planted next to the house. Plan is to fell the tree for a number of reasons. Firstly it is very tall (estimated 9-10m) and growing rapidly meaning it would pose a major risk to ours and neighbouring properties should it ever be blown down. In addition its lower branches are now encroaching on the barbeque shelter which has already had a cracked slate from a falling branch. Also the needles drop and fill the guttering causing blockages. It is growing on the top of a bank made of rubble and some of its roots are now exposed on the bank. The shade it casts is depriving the adjacent orchard trees of light and the root system is also likely to be taking water away from them. See photos TW24Photo 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19. Trees 3 and 4- Two damson trees which are next to each other. The plan is to fell these trees. They are poor quality trees growing in a cramped space which is too small and against the boundary wall. One tree is actually touching the wall. See photos TW24Photo 15, 16, 17. Tree 5- Apple tree. The plan is to reduce by a third back to previous reductions. The tree is a messy, unattractive shape and any fruit which grows on the higher branches is inaccessible. See photo TW24Photo20.

    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.
