Planning application

Land Rear Of Bazzleways Cottages 1 - 2 Station Road Sherborne Dorset DT9 5EH

Granted Exmoor National Park 26/01374/TPO Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

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. 4 Trees and Fell No. 1 Tree as shown within the South Somerset District Council (MIPO 5) 2001 Tree Preservation Order. Tree 1 (Pine)on Figure 1 has one long branch going eastwards through Tree 2 (Pine) which would be removed as there is no suitable growth points. Tree 2 has a lot of dieback and looks in quite a poor state. It is smaller than the other trees but is growing towards the houses. Once the encroaching branch from tree 1 is removed I would reduce any dieback back to healthy growth and remove any dead wood. I would then re-evaluate the condition of the tree to see if it is worth keeping. So i would like to apply for possible removal of tree 2 but only if it is not worth saving. The tree is quite small compared to the others and wouldn't effect the copse with removal. T3 and T4 (Pines) I would only recommend a light reduction of a 1 - 2 metres on selected branches heavily leaning eastwards with the aim of encouraging the overall gravitational pull of the trees away from the houses but leaving a well balanced canopy. There is a small dead stem between trees 1 and 2 which would be removed too as could fall towards fence on east side.
