Planning application

143 Gloucester Street Cirencester Gloucestershire GL7 2DP

Granted Cotswold 26/00022/TCONR Works to trees in conservation areas

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

fell apple tree The apple tree has grown to a size and form that now causes ongoing practical and amenity issues. Several branches interfere with overhead telegraph wires, creating a potential maintenance and safety concern and requiring repeated intervention to prevent contact. The tree is also affected by a fungal disease, evidenced by fruit that is consistently blackened internally and therefore unusable. Large quantities of fallen apples regularly land on the roof of my garden room and into a neighbouring allotment, causing damage, mess, and an ongoing nuisance that requires frequent clearing. In addition, the apple tree currently overshadows two cherry trees and a greengage tree growing beneath it. These trees are in good health but are significantly constrained by lack of light and space. Removal of the apple tree would allow these younger fruit trees to receive adequate sunlight and airflow, giving them a far better chance to flourish. In addition to felling the tree, the stump would be removed and the wood from the tree would be either chipped (and used on our allotment) or used for firewood.

    TPO 202 T.1. Walnut tree. The tree has become large and leans heavily over a workshop. The crown has been pruned back several times over the years, has regrown well and is dense and bushy. Although the tree is sound it presents a considerable vulnerability to wind load. The application is to prune back crown reducing height by 2-2.5m. Prune back spread all round with up to 3m of the longest extension. Thin new growth where still remaining dense, removing up to 50% of live end growth.

    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.
