Removal of two trees in a conservation area and replacement of garden wall. Two trees have caused the collapse of a 2m+ wall and without removal will prevent the wall being rebuilt. Both trees will be removed and the garden wall rebuilt aligned in materials and style with adjacent walls. Tree details: T1 - Sycamore - 12M high, 600mm diameter - remove tree and stump T2 - Holm Oak - 11M high, 700mm diameter- remove tree and stump Wall details: Remove remainder of collapsed wall, remove earth to ensure no pressure on new wall, rebuild wall The trees and wall have been reviewed on site by a Tree Protection Office (Charles Michael) and a Senior Building Control Officer (Naseer Mohammed) who both agree with the requirement to remove both trees to enable the wall to rebuilt. Report from Senior Building Control Officer: "The damage resulted from the roots of a large tree located in the rear garden, which have displaced the structure over time. Due to the location of these roots, the wall cannot be rebuilt in its current state. The tree will need to be removed before any reconstruction can take place."
