Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Oak tree T21 is in the front garden of 17 Spinney Close, facing the corner of the house. Some branches now extend over the roof and brush the roof tiles when the wind blows. We would like to trim these back to prevent damage to our roof. We have sought, and been granted, the same permission previously, in 2020.

Oak T1 - Whole crown reduction / hard cut back, to provide sufficient clearance to the property As you can see from the uploaded images, the tree is currently touching the house, shading light from our upstairs room and scraping on our roof during high winds. The tree is currently dropping lots of deadwood, posing a safety hazard to my family. We believe a whole crown reduction / hard cut back is essential for the health of the Oak Tree as well as maintaining the integrity of our home and outdoor living space and ensuring the safety of our family. We are requesting a reduction of 3m from the tips

T24 Ash Re-Pollard back to previous pollard points @ approximately 7m from ground level by removing approximately 4 metres of growth from the trees. T25 Ash Make new Pollard @ approximately 7 metres from ground level by removing approximately 4 metres of growth from trees. Old fruiting body of fungi found on ground seems to have fallen from 4 metres on main stem. Suspected shaggy bracket but fruiting body too decomposed to tell. Potential hollowing in main stem when knocked with hand. I didnâ??t have my hammer on me at the time.

2 Monarch Close Rainham RM13 8SQ
Tree T1. We would like to remove of this tree. It has has a history of problems and it was part of a group of tree's that have all failed and been removed over the years. Pollarding was granted last year due to its size and the fact that a large part of the tree had broken off due to a fungal bracket. It was reported to me after pollarding that the tree had a large cavity just below the main union , approximate size unknown but and least a depth of 300mm. This was a year ago and I have noticed today that there is a fungal bracket coming out of this cavity, I am concerned that it will break and damage neighbours sheds.
