FLAT 1, 125 YORKTOWN ROAD, SANDHURST, GU47 9BW
86% historically approved · decision due ~22 Oct
T1. Oak - Positioned at the front entrance of the site on left side of driveway entrance as you are looking from Yorktown Road. The lower section of the canopy is low over the external public footpath. RSL therefore recommends a tip reduction crown lift to approximately 2.5m above the external public footpath, removing up to approximately 1m from tips to provide an adequate and safe clearance gap of approximately 2.5m above the external public footpath, therefore clearing pedestrian head height, which the residents of 125 Yorktown Road have clearly expressed is a liability concern for them. By carrying out the above mentioned work, it will help alleviate and mitigate the health and safety issues the tree currently poses. RSL will carry out all cuts sympathetically, so that the lower canopy is shaped, rather than shape edges. All cuts will be made to BS:3998.

1 SEYMOUR DRIVE, ASCOT, SL5 8FX
T1 - Norway Maple - Reduce canopy height and lateral spread 3-4m back towards previous reduction points. Cuts will be made back to suitable growth points from which point the tree can be maintained in a reduced pollarded form. Reason: T1 (Norway Maple) is a suppressed tree of poor form and with a stem defect. The overhanging canopy of T1 has a significant impact on the garden of 1 Seymour Drive and breaking branches cause a nuisance to residents. Works are recommended to reduce the canopy to alleviate the nuisance to residents from which point the tree can be managed in a reduced pollarded form. As the tree has no wider visual amenity value from a public viewpoint, the quality and canopy cover of trees within the Brackens Estate and wider Woodland Tree Preservation Order will not be undermined.
