    24/00976/TPO Submitted 31 Dec 2024 0m away

    The oak tree as outlined within the sketch plan requires pruning due to it's excessive size now encroaching upon neighbors houses, garages and surrounding shrubs. As a result there is a risk that the tree could cause damage to neighboring buildings in storm conditions due to it's 'leggy' size. The oak tree is positioned within the boundaries of 30 St Swithuns road, approximately 3ft from the public path adjacent to St. Swithuns Road. Considering it's extensive size/length of branches it is recommended that crown reduction work shall need to be carried out in order to retain a balanced shape. Only the Oak tree as highlighted within the sketch plan requires worked to be carried out. The site is located within a conservation area and no specific TPO number has been identified for the Oak tree. A recommendation for submission and works to be carried out within January in order to protect the tree and avoid any potential risks of diseases when pruning within the warmer summer months.

    It's an indian bean tree located the front of the house. It is a very big tree and is causing damage to the driveway and the lamp post located near is possibly being effected by the roots and it isn't straight and is wobbly. It also overhangs next doors driveway. I would like to apply to get the tree taken down for safety reasons and damage to driveway also potential damage by roots to the house in the future.
