  REAR: ONE Pear tree (T1)(approx.ht.10m) FELL and replace with another pear. REASON: the tree is showing signs of dieback in canopy & two large limbs failed this year. Large cavity in base suggesting a fungal pathogen targeting the roots. The weakened structure & failing limbs make it a high risk. Informative A: to thank for the proposed replacement pear to maintain the urban forest canopy and species diversity, for wildlife and plants for pollinators, and shade to reduce high temperatures in increasingly hot summers due to climate change. Informative B: retrenching the crown to make the tree safe to retain a reduced tree for wildlife or retain a low stem or stump is encouraged for biodiversity, including habitat for the endangered stag beetle. Informative C: please create habitat log piles and dead hedge with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.

  REAR: ONE dead Cherry (T1)(ht.6m) FELL. Reason: the tree is dead, a hazard due to risk of falling. Duty to replace applies. Informative A: the landowner has a duty to plant another tree of an appropriate size and species when a tree is removed in a conservation area because it is dead or presents an immediate risk of serious harm. Ref. Tree Preservation Orders and trees in conservation areas, guidance, para 121. Informative B: the replacement tree planting with species such as field maple, whitebeam, crab apple, paperbark maple, Amelanchier, quince (Cydonia oblonga), Magnolia Kobus, Orange-barked Myrtle (Myrtus apiculate), common pear is important for rear amenity, wildlife and urban forest canopy for shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.

  We would like to convert an existing garage, attached to the property into a habitable space. The garage is front facing and currently suffers from aging, leaking roof. As part of conversion, the following changes would be made: - Roof would be replaced with a sloped roof (shallow angle), as per drawings attached. Reason for slope is better insulation against rain and preparation to install solar panels. - A door and a window installed to the side (as per attached drawings). - Foundation for front facing in-fill wall dug and a new wall built - Internal floor insulation laid - Water insulation membrane installed internally - Internal wall insulation applied

  REAR: ONE Lombardy Poplar (T1)(ht.16m) CROWN REDUCE by 10-11m to ht.5-6m, REDUCE SPREAD from 10m to 5m to create new pollard. Reason: multi-stemmed tree has had a major stem failure exposing large cavity approx.2m above gd level. Remaining stem above cavity is weighted towards neighbouring properties and a crown reduction to reduce weight and sail above cavity is urgently needed to minimise risk of future failures. Merely reducing the one stem would drastically change the balance of the overall canopy and exposure to wind would be likely to cause more failures on the remaining stems. Crown reduction is required for safety to reduce overall canopy to approximately 5-6m from ground level (please see annotated photo) to create a new pollard. Informative A: thank you for managing the tree by safe reduction to retain as a low pollard for rear amenity, wildlife and canopy shade to reduce heatwave temperatures due to climate change. Informative B: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
