Planning application

Duck House 2 Duck Island Tamworth Street Duffield Belper Derbyshire DE56 4EZ

Awaiting decision Amber Valley TRE/2026/0970 Trees

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

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.

    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.
