We hereby give notice of our intention to fell two mature conifer trees located within the front garden of Rosemary Cottage. Both trees have reached an estimated height of approximately 15?20 metres and have significantly outgrown the scale and setting of the property. Due to their size and proximity to the building, they now may cause future potential damage to Rosemary cottage and are having a detrimental impact on the reasonable enjoyment and management of the site. The conifer closest to the dwelling is situated approximately 2.5 metres from the front elevation of the cottage and is an inappropriate species for its proximity to the building and poses foreseeable risk to foundations, drains and gutters Its height and dense evergreen canopy cause substantial shading to the principal rooms of the property, significantly reducing natural daylight throughout the year. In addition, lateral growth extends into the driveway, preventing the entrance gates from opening fully and restricting safe and convenient access to the property. Given the tree's close proximity to the dwelling and its mature size, there is also concern that it has the potential to affect the property's foundations over time, and its continued growth presents an ongoing risk that we wish to address proactively. The second conifer has expanded to occupy a substantial proportion of the front garden and is located in close proximity to the boundary wall adjoining Clayton Road. Owing to its size and continued growth, there are concerns that the tree may adversely affect the structural stability of the boundary wall, creating the potential for damage to the wall and presenting a risk to the adjacent public footway. The proposed removal of these trees would address the above issues while allowing for a more appropriate form of landscaping. We are committed to maintaining the verdant character of the property and the wider Conservation Area and therefore propose to plant two ornamental flowering cherry t

Rosemary Cottage Clayton Road Newcastle Under Lyme Staffordshire ST5 4AD

Approval is sought to undertake essential management works on two Yew trees (Taxus baccata) located in the rear garden of Rose Cottage. The trees have not been pruned for several years, resulting in dense canopies that dominate the garden, prevent understory growth, and cause structural and access conflicts. All works are proposed, and will be carried out, in accordance with British Standard BS3998. Detailed Schedule of Works & Justification Tree 1 Yew tree,Taxus baccata (Located closest to the rear fence, adjacent to the public footpath) ? Current Condition: This tree is significantly one-sided and exhibits a distinct lean towards the main dwelling. This structural imbalance is caused by heavy shading on its rear side from a neighbouring tree. ? Proposed Work 1: Crown Reduction Specification: Reduce the lateral branches facing the house by 2?3 metres to establish a clear separation zone between the canopy and the building. Justification: The branches are in direct physical contact with the structure, roof tiles, and guttering of Rose Cottage, presenting an immediate risk of structural damage and blocked drainage. ? Proposed Work 2: Crown Lifting Specification: Lift the lower canopy to a uniform height, ensuring a minimum clearance of 2.5 metres over the public footpath. Justification: Low-hanging branches currently overhang the public footpath below a height of 2 metres, creating a direct obstruction and hazard for pedestrians. ? Proposed Work 3: Crown Thinning Specification: Thin the crown by a maximum of 30%. Justification: To reduce wind resistance on an already leaning tree, improve structural balance, and allow light filtration into the rear garden to support ground-level vegetation. Tree 2 Yew tree,Taxus baccata (Located closest to the cottage, adjacent to the patio area) ? Current Condition: A large, dominant specimen positioned next to the domestic patio and the rear elevation of the house. ? Proposed Work 1: Crown Reduction Specification: Reduce the later
