Planning application
Land Fronting Rothards The Tye East Hanningfield Chelmsford Essex
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
2x weeping willows - cut back on a 3-5 year cycle, depending on growth, to prevent possible subsidence to the neighbouring property and to keep the growth clear of the nearby overhead cables. Tree A, (the tree to the south) following storm damage is unbalanced and needs to be pollarded at about 3-4m above ground level, so that it can grow back evenly. Tree B, (the tree to the north) thin back by 30-35% of branches (to previous pruning points) and cut back 1m from overhead cables.

20/05632/CAT Granted
Land Fronting Rothards The Tye East Hanningfield Chelmsford Essex
Weeping Willow - Reduce willow to 3m below previous pruning point (height) and 1m beyond pruning points on laterals and cut back 1m from overhead cables. Reason: Since submitting a previous application (20/05530/CAT) following storm damage to one of the pair of weeping willows at East Hanningfield Tye, it has been advised that the pruning intended for the northern tree, Tree B on the accompanying plan, will be insufficient, because it will encourage regrowth from the ends of branches which are not strong enough to bear its weight. There are concerns with safety as it is beside a bus stop and the pedestrian route to a local pub/restaurant. The risk of creating unsafe branches, likely to fall, must be avoided.
