Planning application
FLAT 1, 125 YORKTOWN ROAD, SANDHURST, GU47 9BW
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
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.

39 CAMBRIDGE ROAD, CROWTHORNE, RG45 7EP
T16 - Mature Walnut Tree - Crown lift mature walnut to approximately 3m above ground level by the selective removal of lower branches to improve pedestrian clearance, access and maintenance beneath the crown and provide appropriate clearance from the adjacent garden structure. Retain the natural form and overall character of the tree. Description and reason for works: The mature walnut tree is proposed to be crown lifted to approximately 3 metres above ground level , by the selective removal and shortening of lower branches where appropriate. The lower crown currently extends down into the garden area and across the pedestrian access route, creating restricted clearance beneath the tree and interfering with the practical use and maintenance of the area. The low branches also extend towards and over the adjacent garden structure and restrict access around the building. The proposed crown lifting is intended to provide improved headroom and pedestrian clearance , allowing the area beneath and around the tree to be used and maintained safely and effectively. It will also provide suitable clearance from the adjacent garden building whilst reducing the likelihood of lower branches being damaged through regular pedestrian activity and maintenance operations. The works will be undertaken selectively, removing only those lower branches necessary to achieve an approximately 3-metre crown clearance . The natural form, structural framework and overall appearance of the walnut will be retained, with no unnecessary removal of healthy upper-canopy growth. All pruning will be carried out in accordance with good arboricultural practice, with pruning cuts made at suitable branch unions and positioned to minimise unnecessary wounding. The intention is to retain the mature walnut as an important landscape and amenity tree whilst improving clearance and access beneath its crown . G2 - 1 x Silver Birch - Remove major deadwood
