Planning application

Seaview Cottage 2 Old Seaview Lane Seaview Isle Of Wight PO34 5BD

Granted Isle of Wight 23/00198/TW Tree Works in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1; Eucalyptus - Remove top half of tree down to canopy, also small branch extending over roof of house. Tree is overhanging the roof and has become so tall that the entire tree moves in the wind. The garden is quite small and the tree has become too large for the space and may cause damage to my property if not managed properly. T2; Bay - Remove tree nearest to house and over roof. Tree is growing over the roof and is becoming too large for the space, removal of the second trunk will give the main trunk room to grow.

    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.
