Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T6 (as per TPO plan) English Oak - tree is growing right next to the property and is growing out over the roof causing issues with squirrels jumping onto the roof and causing damage. Reduce tree by 2-3m back to give a final height of around 18m and a final spread of around 15m back to previous pruning points, which will give good clearance from the building. Tree also has OPM present which will be removed prior to any works being carried out by Burnley's Tree Services Ltd. break apart and fall off. T20 (as per TPO Plan) - English oak - tree is growing down the left hand side of the building and has major deadwood in the crown area which is starting to break apart and fall off. Deadwood crown of tree. T21 and T22 Cherry (as per TPO plan) - both trees have died off probably due to the heats of the recent summers. Fell both trees.
