Planning application

St Davids Church Tudhoe Lane Spennymoor

Granted County Durham DM/24/02460/TPO Tree Preservation Order

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

Proposal

Oak - Crown lift to 4m above ground level, to include removal of soft /pendulous growth, ie small diameter branches under 75mm / 3 inch only, but no larger structural branches over this size. Pruning to be done evenly all round and to a uniform height to maintain the natural form and symmetry of the tree. Crown reduction / shortening of smaller diameter branches (as specified above) in the lower tree crown only and would not exceed 2m clearance from the roof of the adjacent church building. This would be done in addition to the specified crown lifting works where applicable and may include minor balancing on all sides (amended description)
