    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.

Remove any dead, damaged or defective branches and retain the natural form of the trees. All works to be undertaken to current arboricultural best practice. ________________________________________ Reasons for the Works The trees have grown substantially in height and spread and are now creating excessive shading within the rear garden and affecting general garden enjoyment and maintenance.

Retain the trees as attractive landscape features. ? Promote their long-term health through sympathetic maintenance and pruning. No trees are proposed for removal. ________________________________________ Additional Supporting Statement Prior to submitting this notification, advice was sought from Gloucester City Council. Following informal discussions with the Council's Tree Officer, it was recommended that a formal application/notification be submitted regarding the Hawthorn trees. For completeness and to avoid any uncertainty regarding tree protection status, the Elder trees have also been included within this submission.
