    Tree Preservation Order EL:19/07 - The tree is a Liquid Amber on the border of this property adjoining Garson Road Condition: above average Vigour: good This application is very similar to application 2024/0710 and I wish to do the same crown reduction. In the last two years since that application the crown of the tree has regrown to its previous size shadowing the garden making it difficult for other plants to grow and survive. Remedial work: reduce back to previous points and dimensions in previous applications down to height of 12.5 meters and spread of 8.5 meters. We will be using the same tree surgeon who is on your approved list. Doing this work every two years has resulted in a very healthy tree of acceptable size.

    Tree Preservation Order EL:18/07 - T1 - Horse chestnut - Proposed Works: Crown lift over the roadside only to provide a minimum clearance of 5.2 metres above ground level. All pruning shall be limited to secondary branches where practicable and carried out in accordance with BS3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations, with a maximum pruning wound diameter of 50mm. Reason for Proposed Works: Following a tree survey, it was identified that the crown over the carriageway has been subject to contact from larger vehicles in the past. The proposed crown lift will provide appropriate clearance for high-sided vehicles, reducing the likelihood of future vehicle strikes and preventing unnecessary damage to the tree, whilst retaining its long-term health and amenity value.
