Planning application

77 Howdale Road Downham Market Norfolk PE38 9AH

Granted King’s Lynn and West Norfolk 24/00154/TREECA Works to/Fell Tree in Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

I am applying for permission to fell a dead Silver Birch tree in the back garden of my property. The tree is located at the rear of the garden, near to the boundary of my neighbour's property. The tree died within the last 18 months, it has no leaves and has been dropping an increasing number of twigs/small branches over the last few months. If not dealt with soon, I am concerned that the tree may become unsafe, presenting a more significant risk to personal health and safety as well as the greater potential for physical damage to my property. Photos included for reference - Silver Birch 1 & Silver Birch 2.

    2/TPO/00666: T1- Lime: Reduction of crown on SSW side of crown over structure 2.5-3.5m. Crown reduction of over extended limbs (target prune on whole crown) 1-2.5m. This reduction will bring the extended limbs back in to the main crown structure and reduce risk of extended limbs failing due to previous pruning cuts. Current crown size 22x13m. T2- Lime: Crown reduction of over extended limbs (target prune on whole crown) 1-2.5m. This reduction will bring the extended limbs back in to the main crown structure and reduce risk of extended limbs failing due to previous pruning cuts. Current crown size 20x13m. T3- Lime: Reduction on NE side of crown 2-2.5m, lime tree has been removed from the western side of T3 this has caused the early development growth to lean to the E and removing the tree has exposed the crown (T3) to the environment change. Reducing the crown on eastern side will promote better structure and reduce risk of failing. Current crown size 22x13m. Location/risk- T1,2 & 3 have highways and dwellings in target zone including oil tanks (domestic). Public foot fall is high due to local amenities route. All above work in line with BS 3998 (2010).
