Planning application

Land West Of Paynes Lane And North Of Main Road Boreham Chelmsford Essex

Granted Chelmsford 24/05211/TPO Trees

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

A1 - (T1 on map) Mature Ash- Located at the South-Eastern extent of TPO/2014/001, adjacent to a public footpath and fencing- Fell , the tree roots from the pipe and reinstate the headwall. A replacement tree (heavy standard pedunculate oak) will be planted in an open space within the existing tree group. Reason: This tree sits over an existing drainage pipe and headwall. The pipe runs in a general north to south direction and discharges into the historic lake on the opposite side of the B1137 Main Road. The roots and buttress of the tree has caused the headwall to collapse (Photo 1) and block the pipe with roots (Wincan Report). This has prevented the lake from filling, resulting in low water levels.
