Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

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

Proposal

There is a large Silver Birch tree at the back of the house, adjacent to a driveway, which is causing concern due to its height and overall size. It has been looked at by a local Arborist, whose opinion is, that with management, this tree should last for another 20 years at least. His advise it to reduce the tree by at least a third to manage and care for the continued life of the tree. At the moment the tree is in good condition. There is concerned that without suitable reduction, the tree will become top heavy causing it to topple when battered by the current heavy rain and high winds. Apart from concern for the continued welfare of the tree, should it fall or shed a branch there are 4 properties and garages that could be damaged.

    2/TPO/00354: T1 Sycamore Tree - Proposed Crown Lift and reduction. The owner of the tree has recieved complaints from their neighbour at Cuckoo Nest in regards to deadwood falling into their driveway. The owner has also stated low hanging branches from this tree are an obstruction to her own driveway. The height of the tree is also a concern and she would like it to be reduced in height to ensure the tree can be kept healthy and manageable without posing a risk to both her property and her neighbours property. We would like permission to crown lift to remove low hanging branches and reduce the tree in height and shape up for reasons given above. We have given best practice advice for these works to be carried out while the tree is dormant in the winter months to ensure the tree stays healthy

    2/TPO/00237: T1 Horse Chestnut Tree - Clearly showing signs of sereve decay, due to recent storms, a large main limb has broken off as shown in photos. Main stem is hollowing as shown in photos. We have been asked to remove the hazardous damaged limb which has broken off and ensure the tree is in a safe state due to the close proximity to property and the road and power lines and bt lines as shown in photos. We would also request permission to remove this tree and replant a horse chestnut in its place as the trees health is in decline due to decay and our advice would be to remove to prevent further risk. However our main objective for immediate action is to reduce the tree to a safe height.
