Works: Trees
Part of this application was approved and part refused. The decision notice on the council portal sets out which is which.
Proposal
T1 - Holm Oak, remove. Replace with 3 Lime trees. Reasons: current and increasing future suppression of the pollarded Lime trees, inappropriate location in relation to adjacent built elements, and crown reduction work is considered inappropriate as a form of long term management. T2 - False Acacia, Remove. Replace with 1 Lime tree. Reasons: poor structural condition and current and likely damage to the tall boundary brick wall, a historic feature at the site. G1 - 3 x Lime trees, repollard back to just above their historic points at approx.6m above ground level. Reasons: adheres to the character and appearance of the more mature Lime trees within the Masters Garden along it's eastern edge, likely future damage to the tall boundary brick wall (direct and indirect damage, due to root flare and stem growth), based on their significant growth potential if left to continue to grow without management, inappropriate location in relation to other adjacent built elements, crown reduction work considered inappropriate as a form of long term management and greater light availability to the adjacent Mulberry tree.
