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

Proposal

T1 & T2 both Yew trees - crown lift to give 4.5m clear height under the crowns, pruning only secondary branches (no larger branches pruned back to the trunks); reduce the radial branch spreads by up to 2.5m in the lower sections of the crown, lessening towards the top, to give a balanced form and final radial branch spread of around 5.5m.

    T1 - Horse Chestnut tree - Reduce crown, mainly vertical growth by about 2 meters back to previous pruning points to retain structural integrity of tree and to promote healthy growth. Remove major deadwood over 30mm diameter

  • 26/01836/TPO Granted

    27 Dormers Close Tetbury Gloucestershire GL8 8HJ

    T1 - Sycamore tree to be crown reduced and balanced. This tree is absolutely massive in comparison to the very small garden behind this property, and the garden has nothing growing in it at all as this tree now completely covers the whole garden. The branches are very nearly touching the house, there is significant dead wood in the centre of the crown and the tree is very misshapen. There was a large Ash tree growing next to it at number 28 that was removed due to Ash Dieback some years ago. This removal has left the Sycamore tree very two dimensional with most of the canopy over the garden of number 27. There is a very large lateral scaffold limb protruding from approximately one meter from the ground out of the side of the main trunk, that probably has nearly half of the canopy growing from it. Currently the tree has a height of approx. 12-14 meters, with a spread of approx. 7-8 meters north and east, approx. 6-7 meters south and approx. 2-3 meters west. Proposal is to reduce the height by approx. 4-5 meters, the spread by approx. 2-3 meters north and east, approx. 2-3 meters south and approx. 0.5 meters west to blend and balance the canopy. Also to remove the dead stem top in the centre.
