Proposal

Tree Identification: Tree species: Robinia (False Acacia) Tree number (as per TPO): T1 Location: Land at 35 Roebuck Estate, Binfield (rear garden area extending across adjoining boundaries) Proposed Works Robinia (T1) – Crown reduction and selective pruning Reduce overall crown by approximately 20–25% (2–3 metres in height and lateral spread) Remove deadwood and storm-damaged branches throughout the canopy Selectively prune lower and overhanging branches extending into neighbouring gardens Remove thorn-bearing epicormic growth / low-level regrowth where causing nuisance or risk All works to be carried out in accordance with BS3998 (Tree Work Recommendations). Reasons for the Work 1) The proposed works are necessary for safety, nuisance reduction, and reasonable enjoyment of surrounding properties, specifically: 2) Structural / safety concerns: The tree appears to be leaning, increasing concern over stability There has already been branch failure during a recent storm, indicating vulnerability to further failure The tree is in close proximity to gardens used by children and neighbouring properties 3) Public and neighbour safety: The tree is producing thorn-bearing growth, which is falling into surrounding gardens This has already resulted in minor injuries and complaints from neighbouring properties 4)Overhang and light obstruction: Significant overhang into adjacent gardens Contributing to loss of natural light and encroachment across multiple properties 5) General amenity management: The works aim to retain the tree while bringing it back to a safe and manageable size appropriate for its location in a residential setting Replacement Tree (if applicable): Not applicable – tree is to be retained The intention is to preserve the tree long-term through appropriate management rather than removal.

    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.
