Planning application

71 Crossways Romford RM2 6AJ

Granted Havering T0150.25 Trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Work to the Silver Birch tree in rear garden - highlighted on Aerial photograph (Picture 1). The tree is close to the house and we would like to reduce the height of the canopy by 4 to 5 metres. The tree has recently been caught in the winds and a very large branch to the northern side of the canopy snapped/split along the branch.(Picture 2). This has been cut off just before the break/split for safety. (Picture 3). The top of he tree would now need reducing to balance the canopy as most of it is now to one side, as shown in Picture 3, which is towards ours and our neighbours properties, it does sway about somewhat in the winds causing concern.

    T1 - Sycamore Tree, The tree contains major dead branches and limbs and there fore needs a pollard back down to live wood, 6.1 meters which would give the tree a chance to promote new healthy growth so that the tree can re generate. If this dead limbs are not taken out they run the risk of failing and braking off and causing damage to neighbouring properties out buildings.
