    T/25/100662 Submitted 23 Dec 2025 97m away

    1no. Oak (T204) - Fell. Exhibiting symptoms of decline, including low overall vigour and reduced canopy density. Decay at the base of the tree is of concern, as it could compromise the tree’s ability to safely support its own weight. Its proximity to residential properties and footpath and risk of structural failure is increasing. Retention of the tree would pose an ongoing safety risk that cannot be effectively mitigated through pruning or management. Felling is proposed for public safety and risk management. To ensure ecological value is retained, the stem will be reduced and retained at a height of approx. 3m to provide standing deadwood habitat, and the main stem will be left within the adjacent woodland to allow for natural decay and biodiversity benefit. No replant is proposed due to the natural regeneration of the woodland.

    1no. Oak (T1, originates from HETC land) - Overhanging branches in garden to be trimmed to fenceline, about 2-3m. Tree leaning against fence. 2 no. Alder (T2 & T3 originates from HETC land) - Overhanging branches into garden cut back to fence line, about 2-3m. Reason: Trees top heavy, more overhanging branches into garden with less counter balancing branches into woods. Pruning to fence line will re-balance trees & be less dangerous in bad weather. Greater prevention of damage to property or injury.
