Planning application
Red Lion Hotel Dorchester Road Winfrith Newburgh DT2 8LE
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 Leyland Cypress: Prune to provide 1.5m clearance from the fabric of the building to mitigate damages. T2 English Oak: Prune to provide 3.5m from ground level to facilitate basic garden maintenance. Prune to provide 1.5m clearance from the adjacent marquee structure. T3 Silver Birch: Undertake a targeted 1.5m full crown reduction from the tips inwards ensuring that all cuts are brought back to viable growth points and that no pruning wounds exceed 50mm in diameter. This work is to reduce the stress and level forces within the main branch junctions. T4 Lawson Cypress: Reduce the upper scaffold branches by no more than 1.5m from the tips inwards in order to reduce the risk of failure at the branch junctions due to excessive wind loading. This work will not affect the amenity value the tree is providing, nor will it affect the tree physiologically. T5 Lawson Cypress: Fell to ground level. The tree is of poor form and has limited longevity. T6 Lawson Cypress: Fell to ground level. The tree is of poor form and has limited longevity. T7 Lawson Cypress: Remove failed stem which is about to fall outside of the main tree line towards the car park. G1 Lawson Cypress: Reduce by 1m from the upper scaffold branches only in order to maintain the overall size of the group. This work will not affect the overall amenity value the trees are providing, nor will it affect the trees physiologically.
