  90ft high Beech tree in garden, RefT1 on plan. Permission to fell tree and replace with a smaller variety.The reasons are as follows.Tree is in very close proximity and is a danger not only to our house but to surrounding properties if it comes down in adverse weather. It has already caused damage to the paving in the garden and also caused the garden to sink in places and raised in other areas. Also it is affecting the fencing and the roots are forcing the shed backwards.The roots have also started to lift some paving in the garden of number 260.My wife and I cannot use the garden as there is very little sunlight and also because of the amount of pigeon excrement (carries 4 different viruses) it has become a health hazard to my wife as she has a very poor immune system because she suffers from Asthma, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia. Due to the propensity of excrement we cannot even have washing outside to dry. We have also written proof that the tree devalues the house and could make it only saleable to cash buyers. One of the tree officers who visited the site stated that the roots were already under our house and neighbours houses. The same tree officer also stated that the tree shouldn't be in a garden it should be in parkland. The amount of leaves and debris from the tree causes blockages to gutters, drains. I have also attached a statement from Mrs Angela Arch voicing her concerns regarding the tree. In conclusion the situation is causing us a considerable amount of stress and anxiety.

  177 Worcester Road Hagley Worcestershire DY9 0PR

  I would like permission to cut back some of the branches, including the top of the tree. The beech tree is becoming extremely large with branches over-reaching to my neighbours and we are receiving complaints about beech nuts and branches falling onto neighbouring property. I have always had concerns about the tree falling and so would like to keep the height trimmed so that it doesn't reach the property, should it fall.
