Planning application

Pen Yr Allt, Babell, Holywell, CH8 8NJ

Granted Flintshire TCA/000830/25 Trees in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Application for the removal of a self-seeded sycamore tree which has established within and through the remains of an old stone oven. The growth of the tree has caused structural damage, and the stonework is now collapsing, creating a safety concern. The sycamore tree is located on the edge of the conservation area boundary and has grown directly through the remains of the stone oven. Its continued growth has destabilised the structure, caused collapse and created a safety risk. Consent is being sought for the removal of the tree in order to make the area safe. This approach both addresses the immediate safety concern . We will also look to plant a replacement tree within our land though away from the residential curtilage of our property.

    The client has a large magnolia situated at the front of the property that is growing into phone wires and into the property, it is also encroaching onto the street. I propose to reduce the height of the tree to below the phone wires, approximately 1-2m to previous reduction points (to the top of the upstairs windows) and spread by 1-2m to keep the tree contained and to prevent future damage from passing vehicles. Works will be carried out to BS3998.

    T1 - Sycamore - Crown reduction of up to 20 percent, equating to a maximum height reduction of approximately 2.5 metres, with lateral limb reductions not exceeding 2 metres in the principal crown sectors. This level of pruning is intended to moderate crown spread while avoiding excessive physiological stress, given observed signs of decline in the tree’s condition. Carry out a targeted crown lift by shortening pendulous branches that currently encroach over neighbouring residential properties, establishing a consistent 5 metre clearance above ground level. Remove deadwood exceeding 50mm diameter throughout the crown as part of routine safety and maintenance.
