Planning application

5 Alexandra Road Clevedon BS21 7QE

Decided Bristol, City of 26/P/0156/TRCA Works to trees - Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

T1: Fell Holm Oak There is a large historic wound at the base of the tree on the road-facing side, with clear signs of advanced decay. From within the property boundary, there is a substantial cavity at the base of the stem, large enough to insert a hand, indicating significant internal decay and loss of structural integrity. Further decay is evident within the first main fork, associated with an old wound. Water is present and visibly seeping from this area, suggesting ongoing internal decay and compromised wood strength. The location of this defect at the primary union significantly increases the likelihood of structural failure. Due to the extent and position of the decay, the tree is considered at risk of failure at the first main fork and/or basal stem. Hazards / Targets: The tree is adjacent to a public footpath and road, with frequent pedestrian use and regularly parked vehicles beneath the canopy. The tree also overhangs the highway and the nearby property. Failure of the tree, or part thereof, would pose a significant risk to public safety, vehicles, and property.

    Rose Cottage Rownham Hill Leigh Woods BS8 3PU

    Rear garden (Top of steps near driveway) T1 - Lawson's cypress by steps - remove to as close to ground level as possible. Holly saplings adjacent and under canopy of Lawsons cypress, remove to as close to ground level as possible. T2 - Small Holly near house - remove to as close to ground level as possible. G3 - Holly group adjacent road - reduce in height by approx 2m and shape sides to match. T1 & T2 removals are part of on-going tree management. The holly is too close to the house and providing unwanted shade. T1 is atop of a small retaining wall, adjacent electrical wire and has previously been topped. Tree is of poor quality and located within a poor location and likely to cause future damage to structures. G3 - To be ongoing managed as a hedge to block the adjacent road noise and lights.
