Planning application

Medina House Church Lane Northwood Cowes Isle Of Wight PO31 8PQ

Granted Isle of Wight 21/01183/TW Tree Works to TPO

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1; Oak - Reduce height from 15m to 11m and reduce lateral spread by 4m from 8m to a finished spread of 4m, pruning back to suitable lateral branches. Reason: extensive decay in the main trunk around 2-3m from ground level coalesces with other areas of decay creating a significant weak point with high leverage and wind loading. Reducing the crown in this way will reduce the wind loading and leverage placed on the weak union and reduce the risk of the tree failing, in particular on the barn. The tree has relatively high physiological health and dormant buds present so is in a good position to tolerate the relatively harsh pruning.

    Redhill Farm Redhill Lane Wroxall Ventnor Isle Of Wight PO38 3ER

    T4; English Oak - Reduce lower lateral over-extending branches back to suitable growth points up to 2-3m from branch tips; remove downward growing branches to prevent further leveraging. Reason: Lower canopy has become unbalanced and leaning more towards the client's property. By reducing the large lateral limbs and removing downward growth we hope to promote re-balancing and take off some weight to prevent leveraging.
