Planning application
105 Nore Road Portishead BS20 8DW
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Removal of six Ash trees (Fraxinus excelsior) exhibiting symptoms consistent with Ash Dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus). The trees are showing progressive symptoms associated with Ash Dieback, including crown thinning, upper canopy dieback, dead twigs/branch tips and general decline in vitality throughout the crowns. Ash is widely recognised as becoming increasingly brittle as the disease progresses, with deterioration often accelerating over a relatively short period of time. Although the trees are located within a garden setting and are not considered to present an immediate high-risk target at present, the area beneath and surrounding the trees is regularly used by the family for amenity purposes. Given the progressive nature of the disease, the long-term retention of these trees is considered unsuitable. Removal is therefore proposed as a proactive management approach before further structural decline occurs.

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.
