Planning application

Redwood Cottage 14A Fritchley Lane Fritchley Belper Derbyshire DE56 2FN

Granted Amber Valley TRE/2024/0597 Trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

This application is in regards to a small plantation of several tree species situated at the rear of 14a Fritchley Lane, Fritchley, Derbyshire. The plantation is surrounded by residential properties, a few of whom have complained about overhanging trees at their properties. On several occasions, residents have cut away numerous branches from trees in order to get more light and reduce leaf mess into their own gardens. Obviously, this work is being carried out without authorisation and expertise. Initially, the owner has asked for permission to remove all overhanging branches around the plantation at a distance of 2 meters from the boundary and only up to a height of 5 meters. This work would not involve the removal of any trees at ground level around the boundary and would not aesthetically affect the crown of the trees. It is hoped that this will prevent the ad-hoc removal or hacking of branches from the trees around the whole plantation. Secondly, the owner has asked permission to remove numerous small self setting trees within the woodland, mainly Holly. This is in order to encourage natural regeneration and growth of low ground cover. It will prevent competition for space, light and nutrients. This involves no removal of any mature trees.
