Planning application

19A Colin Road Gloucester GL4 3JL
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.

What refusal means
The process from here
The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.
Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

This application is being submitted on behalf of my elderly mother-in-law. 1. Removal of a small Yew tree. This is located at the boundary wall between the property and the public pavement. Thr main trunk of the Yew tree grows almost horizontally from the foot of dwarf boundary wall towards the main property. The dimensions of the Yew tree 3.2m* 3m wide and aprox 4m high. As the tree is located 1.5m from the propertys foul water drain and 2m to the public sewer there is concern that the roots will damage the foul water drains. In addition as the root system is expected to encrouch on the main property it is likely to cause damage to the foundations of the building. (Note there is a cellar directly under this part of the property increasing the risk of property damage.) Further the tree roots will impact the integrity of the boundary wall and potemntially the public pavement. 2. Removal of a Bay tree. This tree is aprox 10 -15m tall and located within 3m of the property rear, and within 0.3m located of boundary wall with the neighbouring property. The neighbouring property is around 1m from this wall. The primary concern is the impact the root system has on the two properties and the boundary wall plus the reduction of light to the neighbours property.
