Planning application

Chevin House Queens Drive Belper Derbyshire DE56 2TJ

Granted Amber Valley TRE/2026/0829 Trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Tree T1 (as identified in accompanying documents) is in the rear garden of the address. It is contributing to a range of issues/concerns, including pressure from neighbours due to leaf litter/detritus, ongoing maintenance issues such as low branches and detritus affecting the adjacent public highway as well as being implicated in a range of structural issues. While re-pollarding was considered, the complications involved in undertaking extensive structural repairs are exacerbated by the presence of the tree. As such, the preferred course of action is for tree T1 to be removed, including stump treatment/removal to inhibit regrowth. Replacement planting of species with lower water demand and slower growth habits is suggested. Species such as Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) or Field Maple (Acer campestre) will provide visual amenity, wildlife benefits and are less likely to lead to conflicts with nearby structures in future. Suggested locations for replacement planting are within the rear garden of the property but removed from directly adjacent to the boundary retaining wall. As such, once grown, public visual amenity would be provided. To ensure some visual amenity is provided in the short-term, it is proposed that semi-standard sized tree is planted.

    I think the tree is a Leylandii or something similar. It is marked 2 on my plan CATCH 1 and I hope that you will give me permission to remove it. I have stated reasons for removal of the tree in the previous section. Affecting canopy of important cedar (1).Too near magnolia (3), shading pergola area; partly dying back and now looking an eyesore. The trees are about 20 feet apart. As regards a replacement, in anticipation of the felling we have planted a Magnolia Grandiflora (4) which is doing very well. We could not plant in the same place as tree (2) because of the proximity of the other trees. We would be very pleased for planners to visit and discuss as they think appropriate.

    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.
