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

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

The proposed tree works include the recommendations at Section 5, Page 11, in the attached 'Millstone View Tree Risk Assessment' dated 18.02.2025. However, in the year since the Tree Risk Assessment was issued there has been a significant increase in the amount of dead wood and snapped limbs on a number of trees and as a result so the recommended works have been updated/amended. Attached 'Millstone View Sketch Plan' provides the location of the trees. The proposed tree works are as follows:- Group 2 - Oak - remove major deadwood over 50mm. Group 3 - Oak - remove major deadwood over 50mm. Group 4 - Oak - remove major deadwood over 50mm. T424 - Oak - crown clear. T425 - Oak - pollard. T426 - Oak - pollard. T427 - Oak - reduce by 1.5m, North and East side. T436 - Oak - fell to 2m. Group 5 - Mixed species (small group predominantly Oak) - remove major deadwood over 50mm. Group 6 - Mixed species (small group predominantly Oak) - remove major deadwood over 50mm. Group 7 - Oak & Rowan - remove major deadwood over 50mm. Group 8 - Oak - remove major deadwood over 50mm. Group 9 - Mixed (predominantly Oak) - remove major deadwood over 50mm. T428 - Oak - reduce weight on low North side branches. T429 - Oak - reduce weight on East and South side as part of pollard works. T1 - Dead trunk - fell below fence. T436 - Oak - fell to 2m.

    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.
