Sheepy Lane Orton On The Hill Leicestershire

Awaiting decision Hinckley and Bosworth 26/00834/TCA Trees

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Sycamore (T1-T17) The sycamore trees are located adjacent to the highway and neighbouring residential properties, with potential targets within falling distance. The trees exhibit signs of stress and decline, including crown scorch and dieback, likely resulting from recent periods of prolonged heat and drought. Given their proximity to the highway, overhead utilities and nearby properties, further deterioration could increase the risk of branch or whole-tree failure. The proposed felling is a proactive measure to address declining trees and reduce potential risk to surrounding receptors. Hawthorn (T18-T19) The two hawthorn trees are heavily covered in ivy and substantially overhang the adjacent highway. Due to their condition and proximity to the road, it is proposed to fell the trees to ground level to mitigate the potential risk to highway users. Sycamore (T20-T24) These sycamore trees overhang the rear property boundary and extend into a neighbouring garden. It is proposed to selectively reduce branches back to the property boundary to manage encroachment and reduce the potential for branch failure, whilst retaining the overall form and appearance of the trees.

    Church Cottage Wood Lane Cadeby Nuneaton Leicestershire CV13 0AU

    Sycamore (T2) Raise canopy to approx. 6m to south only whilst retaining a natural canopy form. Reason: Allow light to rear garden under the canopy and above the roof of the property behind. So plants have more chance of growing / enjoyment of property. As the tree has increased in size the impact on light to adjecent properties has increased, thus requiring some pruning to keep a good balance.
