Planning application

18 Combe Street Lane Yeovil Somerset BA21 3PD

Granted Exmoor National Park 26/00729/TPO Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Application to carry out Tree Surgery Works to No. 1 Tree as shown within the South Somerset District Council (YEW 1) 1992 Tree Preservation Order. T1 - Oak Quercus sp. 14mWorks to be carried out Oak (T1). Our preferred option is to monolith the tree by removing all primary branches and retain the trunk at approx. 10m FGL. This will eliminate the chance of major branch failure and will retain the tree so it will still have ecological importance as a ?veteranised? tree.

    Application to carry out Tree Surgery Works to No. 1 Tree as shown within the South Somerset District Council Tree Preservation Order. T1 - Pine The proposed works consist of the selective removal of low-hanging branches that currently obstruct pedestrian access beneath the canopy. The branches are positioned at a height that presents a practical inconvenience and potential safety hazard to people passing underneath.No works are proposed to the upper canopy or main structure of the tree. The intention is solely to crown-lift the tree to an appropriate clearance height ? typically a minimum of 2.5 metres over footpaths and up to 5.2 metres over roads, in accordance with standard arboricultural guidance ? thereby improving pedestrian access whilst preserving the overall health, form, and amenity value of the tree.
