Planning application

3 Broadway Romford RM2 5NS

Granted Havering T0139.22 Trees

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Following two reputable tree surgeon opinions, our magnificent copper beech tree sadly has MERIPILUS GIGANTEUS (MERIPILUS). At present this fungus is clearly visible at the roots of the tree. There are over 33 growths so far which is a lot more than last year. Iâ??ve been told there is no cure once a beach is infected with this fungus and the rot can kill a tree within a relatively short space of time. Given the close proximity to our house and the sheer size of the tree, the safest option would be to fell it as we could not risk it falling. This is a very difficult application for us especially after it was beautifully pruned less than a year ago. We would never want to fell a tree of this age and grandeur unless totally necessary. We are asking permission to remove this tree.

    We have a large Lime Tree at the rear of the garden close to the boundary with 3 Broadway. A tree surgeon has verbally advised that it would be a good idea to reduce the tree by a third to take some of the weight out of it and prevent any old branches falling onto someone from a considerable height. We would welcome an inspection by the Council so they can see the tree.

    We have a weeping birch tree in our garden. We have had it confirmed by two different tree surgeons from two different companies that unfortunately it is dead. The tree has been dead for at least 9 months. We had hoped it might show signs of life in the summer but this has not happened. We would like permission to cut down the tree before it falls down and harms someone or falls into the pond it is beside.

    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.
