Planning application

Woolgars Cottage Town Lane Porchfield Newport Isle Of Wight PO30 4PA

Granted Isle of Wight 23/00597/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

All Leyland cypress trees - Remove. The trees are not in keeping with the character of the surrounding conservation area, provide little benefit to wildlife and could be considered as detracting from the aesthetic appearance of the area. The trees were planted to form a hedge around the garden and have now grown beyond this purpose.

    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.

    Land To Rear Of 12 Crossways Newport Isle Of Wight PO30 5PE

    1; English oak (closest to house) - Lower horizontal limbs towards the house removed to lift crown height to approximately 6-7m (to the main upright crown structure), continue to remove the lower crown limbs from the same tree that extend over the neighbouring garden to a similar height to balance and shape the crown. 2; English oak (western boundary) - Remove previously cut back upper crown limb/stem over garden. 3; English oak - Raise crown height over the rear boundary to approximately 5-6m in height. 4; English Oak (within the neighbouring garden to the south east) Crown raised to approximately 5-6m in height (over their outbuilding). 5; English Oak - Remove lowest horizontal limb to the south. Reason for works: Trees creating constant shade and shadow and limiting the use of the amenity space. Pruning will allow more light through and under the trees and reduce the dominance.

    36 Beachfield Road Sandown Isle Of Wight PO36 8LT

    TG1; Sycamore and Leylandii trees situated on bankside between property 36 Beechfield and Bayshore and Royal Pier Hotels (approximately 30 trees) - Fell. Reason: Trees are self-set in an unmanaged area, causing issues for the homeowner and posing problems for the hotels below. Bring the bankside area back into management by removing the larger trees and allowing it to regenerate as coppice, so they can be periodically cut down at ground level when they get too large in the future. Some trees have unstable root conditions, are growing through telecoms cables, interfere with fire escape routes from the hotels below, and come into close contact with kitchen electrical systems, which may pose a future fire risk if left unmanaged. Tree failure on the bankside could block the fire escapes for the hotels below.
