Planning application

1 Charlock Close Gloucester GL4 6YT

Refused Gloucester 25/00478/TPO Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

Oak (T1) 1/3 crown reduction (as advised by Matt Hale Tree Surgery) to maintain the tree and keep it in good order as it has grown considerably since the last reduction in 2012 and has considerably outgrown the garden. In winds it has a lot of branches coming down which is worrying due to the height of the tree and potential damage to ours and neighbouring properties. Also to reduce amount of overhang , reduction of light and gutter blockages to neighbouring property. Please see attached sketch.

The roots of the tree are already disturbing foundations and causing heave. Suggested reduction of 30%. The impacted tree does not appear to be labelled (or this cannot be identified from documents seen), aerial view of the tree provided. The tree sits within the boundary of 29 Kingsmead, encroaching the neighbouring properties, 47 & 48 Kennett Gardens.
