Planning application
School Lane Fressingfield Suffolk IP21 5RU
Works: Trees
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
Application for Works to Trees subject to Tree Preservation Order 452/T1- Removal of T001 Ash with clear amenity and ecological value, but it now stands in a compromised structural state within a newly built residential environment. The stem is substantially hollow, leaving an estimated 41% of original holding wood with a t/R ratio of around 0.23. The RPA has been disturbed by drainage installation (by others) and other works, with probable loss of a significant proportion of roots in one quadrant. The crown has been heavily raised, and new dwellings and gardens lie within fall distance.
