Proposal

Request to Trim Potentially Hazardous Tree This request is to address a potentially hazardous tree located entirely within my property boundaries at RM13FG. The tree current condition is overgrown with dead branches. The branches are notably uncontrolled and spreading, making contact with and rubbing against the adjacent shed. This contact is causing concern for potential damage to both the shed and potentially the tree itself due to friction. I am the property owner of 2 Lita Mews and applicant and have a direct interest in ensuring the safety of property and mitigating any potential damage caused by the tree. The neighbouring property owner may also have an interest in ensuring the tree does not pose a risk to their property, though the tree is fully contained within my boundaries. The reason for these works is primarily safety and property protection. The current contact between the branches and the shed presents a risk of: 1. Damage to the shed structure (e.g., scratching, abrasion, eventual structural compromise). 2. Damage to the tree from constant rubbing. 3. Potential for falling branches due to an unbalanced or overgrown canopy, especially during adverse weather conditions and dead branches. 4. These works aim to alleviate these concerns and ensure the tree remains safe and well-maintained. At present, no replacement trees are intended to be planted, as the aim is to trim and reduce the existing tree, not to remove it. If, however, it is determined that the tree is under a TPO and the required works necessitate its removal, I am open to discussing suitable replacement tree options in line with any TPO conditions.

    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.
