Split decision Dorset P/TRT/2026/02610 Tree Works- TPO

Works: Trees

Part of this application was approved and part refused. The decision notice on the council portal sets out which is which.

Proposal

T1 Suppressed Oak - Fell in sections to as close to ground level as possible. No replant proposed in this area, very congested already & a replant will struggle to survive. Remove major deadwood & sever ivy. T2 Large Oak tree next to the suppressed Oak - Crown raise to approximately 5m over the drive to allow vehicle access. T3 Pine - Remove major deadwood & sever ivy. T4 Oak - Reduce height from approximately 17 metres to 15 metres and reduce spread from approximately 12 metres to approximately 10.5 metres cutting back to suitable growth points to form a smaller crown. Remove all major deadwood. T5 Oak - Crown raise over the garage to gain a 2-metre separation from the tree and the building, deadwood throughout.
