  FRONT: ONE mature Prunus laurocerasus (common laurel) (T1)(ht.7m) FELL including grinding out the stump to prevent regrowth. Reason: is excessively large, severely restricting daylight to the flat & obscuring the front elevation of the property, removal will benefit growth of T2 which is being retained. Proposed replanting with ornamental pear tree (Pyrus calleryana) in the front garden to maintain greenery, support biodiversity, and provide seasonal interest, while allowing improved light levels and natural surveillance of the property. Note: FRONT: ONE Elaeagnus × ebbingei (Ebbinge's silverberry)(T2)(ht.5.5m) RETAINED, no works proposed. Reason: this tree will be retained as it is an attractive specimen with a higher, more open crown and contributes positively to the character of the property and conservation area. Informative A: huge thank you for retaining a vegetated front garden for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative B: thank you also for the proposed replacement tree (Pyrus calleryana) ? other suitable trees are such as crab apple, quince (Cydonia oblonga), common pear (Pyrus communis), medlar, elder, hazel, Laburnum, holly, Magnolia.

Ref. Tree Preservation Orders and trees in conservation areas, guidance, para 121 - replacement species selected from: small leaved lime, sessile oak, hornbeam, black poplar, wild service tree.

Informative D: huge thank you for retaining other trees for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Informative E: The Bat Conservation Trust advises checking thoroughly for roosting bats before and during tree works with soft fell process followed to proceed with care and with cut timber left grounded over night to allow any bats to make their way out, tree works ideally during Sept/Oct to avoid maternity and hibernation seasons when bats are most vulnerable to disturbance. Informative F: please ensure the gey squirrel drey is checked for nesting birds first before tree works.
