Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T34 Poplar - Has signifigant damage to the trunk on the south side with the heartwood exposed. This tree needs to be removed as it is too close to the weeping willow and is in a poor condition. T43 Sycamore - has a large cavity at the base and a poor structural condition. The stem is probably a new stem from an old stump . It is proposed to remove this tree to give more space to other trees and allow more light to the pond. T96 Sycamore - It is proposed to fell this tree as it has a poor physiological condition with dieback throughout the crown and possible root damage, there are clear indications of sooty bark disease. G9 Birch - This group of birch have all been set at 3m centres to form a block. This will become too close as they mature resulting in tall trees with high thin crowns. It is proposed to thin out the number of trees by removing small Weak or damaged trees to improve the group as a whole. T120 Hawthorn - Has major dead wood and die back throughout the crown. Epicormic growth on the trunk suggests the tree is trying to re-crown at a lower level. It is proposed to pollard the tree back to 2M high to rejuvinate the crown and remove the major dead wood over hanging the bench in the western corner of the wood land. T77 Norway Maple - Has storm damage to the lowest limb on south side. The tree has suppressed the lower crowns of the 2 Wellingtonias. It is proposed to thin and prune to help remedy this, and also to remove a limb rubbing the trunk of the adjacent Scotts pine tree.

Bower House, Amana Trust Orange Tree Hill Havering-atte-bower Romford RM4 1PB
T129 Acer has pockets of decay where old branches have been removed and appear to be joining up within the trunk, this is hollow as far as can be reached from a ground level survey. It is proposed to remove this tree as it over hangs the adjacent public footpath. T57 Weeping Ash is hollow and has a poor structural condition. Decay in the top of the trunk, where branches originate is evident. The branches may fail, due to the structural weakness, as such it is proposed to fell this tree to ground level. Larch trees, T61 and T62, will never become good specimens, as they are totally suppressed by T60, it is proposed to remove these trees as they will not become trees with good structural condition. T66 and T67 - A pair of birch trees close to the accommodation block have a poor structural condition and are physiologically moribund, as such it is proposed to remove these trees. T161 Alder is structurally poor due to decay in the trunk at 1.1M to 3M High. In addition the crown is unbalanced and hangs over the proposed building works, it is proposed to coppice it back to ground level below the decay. T83a Sycamore has deadwood throughout the crown and a poor structural condition, the dieback throughout the crown suggests possible past root damage, or root decline it is proposed to coppice the tree back to the main basal form as it overhangs the entrance road. T107 Cedar, has damage to the lowest limb on the western side. The species is prone to losing limbs during periods of adverse weather such as snow or high wind, thus it is proposed that the damaged limb would be removed.
