Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
Photograph 2& 3 show the Lime tree at far end of garden overhanging Barnwood C of E School car park. Photographs 4 5 & 6 show the tree from the school car park. As you can see it overhangs the school bike shed. I have spoken with the head teacher and she advises that the children are only allowed in that area with a parent and it is currently coned off. Photograph 7, 8 & 9 show the limb that fell from tree during the windy weather on 15 September. This measured 4.5 m with a diameter of 10cm. I am applying to fell the lime tree which has completely outgrown its position. The limb that fell from the tree could have seriously injured a child in the car park of the school had it not fallen into my garden. Smaller branches are falling off the tree daily as you can see from photograph 8 which clearly shows where brances have broken off the large limb that has just broken off. I am very concerned that the tree is unsafe and as we are yet to experience our first storm level winds this year, my worry is that a larger branch breaks off and injures a child. I have had a meeting with the head teacher and she is also concerned and have advised her that I am applying to fell the tree to remove all risk to the children.

7 Wigmore Close Gloucester GL4 5FF
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.

29 Kingsmead Gloucester GL4 5DY
Oak tree covered by an area TPO. A reduction is required to preserve the surrounding properties due to the tree encroaching on boundary gardens. 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.
