16 BLAKE CLOSE, CROWTHORNE, RG45 7LF

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.

16 COPPICE GARDENS, CROWTHORNE, RG45 6EE

Proposal TPO 8 - to remove the weeping willow in the front garden of 16 Coppice Gardens and replace it with a cut-leaf alder (containerised standard 1.5-2m tall), planted nearby in the front garden. Reasons 1. The tree is causing conflict to the residents of 16 and 18 Coppice Gardens with regards to its roots breaking through the driveways and, being a large growing and very broad shaped tree, it is rather over-dominant and blocking direct sunlight to the windows on southern aspect of both houses. 2. It appears that the TPO is a very old Area order that has become somewhat outdated. The tree is estimated at being around 60 years old and may or may not have been present at the time the TPO was served. Government Guidance states: - The area category is intended for short-term protection in an emergency and may not be capable of providing appropriate long-term protection. The Order will protect only those trees standing at the time it was made, so it may over time become difficult to be certain which trees are protected. 3. The surrounding locality has a high level of tree cover and there are numerous more prominent trees and wooded groups in the wider landscape, especially the line of mature Scots pines to the north, which can be clearly seen when viewed from Coppice Gardens. The overall loss of amenity will therefore be minimal and can be adequately mitigated by suitable replacement planting to ensure canopy succession going forward into the next 40+ years. 4. Consent was granted for “re-pollarding” back in 2020 and, if the tree must remain, it will need to be pruned on a regular basis and in a similar fashion to reduce dominance, shading and obstruction to passing vehicles. This will in turn require repeated applications and administration, which could be avoided if the tree was removed and replaced with a suitable alternative species. 5. The replacement tree can be planted further into the grass area, equidistant from the two driveways, to reduce the risk of roots lifting the driveway surfacing in the future. It will also be much less likely to cause problems with lifting of surrounding hard landscaping, since willows are well-known for their shallow and problematic roots systems in the built environment and alders are more deep-rooted. 6. A pre-application telephone discussion with the Council’s tree officer was helpful, constructive and centred around the factors and reasoning given in this report.

6 BLACKMOOR WOOD, ASCOT, SL5 8EN

Tree believed protected under TPO 481 – Group G1. Tree reference on attached site plan: T06 – Beech (highlighted red). Location: Road frontage, approx. 5 metres from the dwelling and directly adjacent to a well-used public footpath. Proposed Works: Complete removal (sectional dismantling) to ground level of T06 Beech. All works to be undertaken by a qualified and insured arborist in accordance with BS3998:2010 – Tree Work Recommendations. Reasons for Proposed Works: Following inspection by two independent licensed arborists, Paul Avery (PA Tree Care) and Jody (Clear Cut Gardens Tree Care & Landscape), full removal is recommended based on the following: Structural Condition & Decay: The tree is over-mature. There is a significant trunk wound with exposed sapwood from ground level to approx. 2m on the western side (approx. 35cm wide at base). Basal hollowing is present behind and above the wound. Daldinia concentrica fruiting bodies are visible at approx. 1.8m, indicating decay and compromised structural integrity. There is evidence of internal decay within the lower stem. Crown Condition: Extensive deadwood is present in the upper crown. Multiple branches retain leaves consistent with branch death. Deadwood has begun to detach and fall. Structural Weakness: A tight fork union increases the risk of structural failure under load. Public Safety Risk: The tree is directly adjacent to a heavily used public footpath near LVS School and approx. 5 metres from the dwelling. Deadwood has already fallen onto the house frontage and the public footpath. Given the decay, fungal activity, basal hollowing and falling deadwood, there is a foreseeable and increasing risk of branch or partial stem failure, with potential for pedestrian injury and property damage. Due to its roadside position and high foot traffic, risk exposure is significant. Consideration of Alternatives: We initially sought advice for minor deadwood works. However, both arborists concluded that crown reduction would not address basal decay, dead-wooding alone would not mitigate structural risk, and retention would present ongoing liability concerns. Removal is therefore considered the only reasonable risk mitigation option. Replacement Planting: We are willing to comply with a replacement planting condition, provided it does not adversely affect the remaining trees. Supporting Information Submitted: In accordance with guidance below, we have included a sketch plan showing boundaries, road, footpath, adjacent properties and T06 marked in red; photographs showing the trunk wound, basal hollow, black fungus, crown deadwood and tight fork union; and referenced observations from two licensed arborists. Urgency: While catastrophic failure has not occurred, the decay, falling deadwood and proximity to a school route and public footpath present a foreseeable risk. We respectfully request timely consideration to mitigate potential injury.
