• PA/2026/0357 Granted

  14 BLAKE CLOSE, CROWTHORNE, RG45 7LF

  TPO 673 - application to fell the Sweet Chestnut tree respresented as T4, previously granted permission in Application No 14/00098/TRTPO for prunning and also potential felling. Comments from the officer then: "'T4 - To keep the new growths away from the house due to the close proximity from the house to this tree T4 Sweet chestnut had been topped to approximately 5m high in the past and it is no more than a standing pole. It has already lost its natural form and has a large amount of epicormic growth on the main stem. The stem attachment of this eppicormic growth is likely to be weak structure and there is potential for branch failure in future as they grew into branches. In this case Ihave no objection to the proposed work. lf a new application was to be submitted, for the removal of T4, it is unlikely to be refused due to the current condition of this tree" On this occasion we request permission for felling this tree to ground. This tree has again in the last 10+ years continued to grow in a disform manner, and is entirely covered with ivy. Additionally, its branches have a tendency to collapse, posing a risk to people and property. Comment from the neighbour at number 12 Blake Close: "I came over around this time last year and we had a chat regarding the dreaded chestnut tree overhanging our front gaden that is now getting back to its biggest size ever since it was last cut back to the trunk. I reminded you that we can no longer park our car that part of our drive as the nuts in autumn damaged our previous car with dents all over the roof and bonnet. Thankfully your previous owners offered to pay for the repairs. It also won't be too long before the branches start to come into contact with our house! You said that you would 'add it to my list of things to do' this time last year. I'm sure that you appreciate both current and impending issues this tree is now causing. Would you be kind enough to provide us an update please as to progress on having this remedied." Likewise, we have also suffered damage to the shed and items usually stored around it. It's branches have reached our property before breaking off. Squirrels use it as a bridge to the roof and have previously damaged for the satellite dish and solar panel cabling. As an additional item, when with leaves between spring and autumn, the tree blocks sunlight into the solar panels located on the property, dramatically reducing the generation potential and with it contributing for unnecessary energy importation from the grid.

  Oak Tree T6 on sketch plan Fell to ground level. We are seeking permission to fell this tree, as it has a very substantial lean and has grown very one-sided due to being boxed in by other trees around it. My client is very concerned that this tree could fall into her house one day, as it is rather tall and in the pictures, it can be seen that the lean is rather severe. The tree leans directly over the family's bedrooms, which causes her even more concern. Also, when in leaf, the tree blocks most of the sunlight to the garden, plus there are already some protected council trees on the right-hand side of it. We believe a reduction wouldnt really achieve much in this case, as I think we would really only be allowed to prune back 1-1.5 meters, which would be a feat in its own right and would require a large mewp due to the leggy, thin branches. The tree also drops a vast amount of leaves that keep blocking my clients' gutters. My client would be happy to re-plant a more manageable tree in the oak's place.
