Planning application

Rockleigh Albert Promenade Savile Park Halifax Calderdale HX3 0HW

Awaiting decision Calderdale 26/22037/TCA Tree in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Fell a Bay Tree approx 9ft from the house. It appears to be very old and shoots appearing in the surrounding area. The off shoots are lifting the pathway within 3 feet of the tree base, which we cannot re-pave until this issue is dealt with. Alarmingly, further shoots have appeared at the far side of the front of the house. The house is semi-detached and the shared sewage pipe with next door runs along the front of the house where the shoots area appearing. We are concerned about damage to the shared sewage pipe. We have taken advice from Meristem Aboriculture & Forestry, who have suggested the tree is felled and the stump ground out and treated asap.

    T1 & T2 - Sycamore: Crown lift to provide approximately 5 metres clearance above ground level. T3 & T4 - Sycamore: Pollard to approximately 10-12 metres. The tree has not previously been pollarded. Works are proposed to establish and maintain the crown at a manageable height and reduce foreseeable risk from falling branches to members of the public using the garden areas. T5 - Ash: Severe Ash Dieback with significant crown decline and extensive dead and dying upper growth. Fell to ground level due to the deteriorating condition and foreseeable risk of branch and/or stem failure. The tree is close to existing structures and the area proposed for construction of a new outbuilding. T6 - Ash: Completely dead tree with extensive deadwood and a deteriorating structure. Fell to ground level due to the foreseeable risk of branch and/or stem failure. The tree is close to existing structures and the area proposed for construction of a new outbuilding. T7 - Sycamore: Mature Sycamore currently in reasonable physiological and structural condition, with no significant immediate safety defects identified. Fell to ground level to facilitate construction of the proposed new outbuilding and provide the necessary space for the building, access and working area. Retention of the tree would significantly constrain the proposed layout.
