Proposal

I have met with Paul Chaplin, NELC Tree Officer, on 6th June 2025 to discuss T1,T2 and T3 and then today (29th July 2026) with Matthew from M.Croft Tree Services, to discuss and review all works outlined in this proposal, and hereby submit proposal for your attention: T1 Lime (Tilia spp.). Reduce lateral canopy spread over the adopted highway to provide a minimum clearance of 1 metre from the double yellow lines. Prune branches to provide 0.5 metre clearance from the overhead telecommunications cable. Crown lift to approximately 6 metres above ground level by removing selected secondary branches. Remove descending, crossing and duplicated branches. Reduce the canopy spread over the property to approximately the line of the building eaves, as shown on the submitted photographs. Remove epicormic growth from the main stem and basal stem to the principal scaffold branch union. Remove all deadwood exceeding 25 mm diameter. T2 Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) (possibly recorded on TPO register as Norway Maple?) Reduce lateral canopy spread over the adopted highway to provide a minimum clearance of 1 metre from the double yellow lines. Prune branches to provide 0.5 metre clearance from the overhead telecommunications cable. Reduce selected lateral branches by approximately 1 metre, cutting back to suitable secondary growth points. Crown lift to approximately 6 metres above ground level by removing selected secondary branches. Remove descending, crossing and duplicated branches. Remove all ivy from the stem and principal scaffold branches. Remove epicormic growth from the main stem. Remove all dead, dying and fractured branches. T3 ? Horse Chestnut. Reduce canopy spread over the adopted highway to provide 1 metre clearance from the double yellow lines. Provide 0.5 metre clearance from the overhead telecommunications cable.

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with North East Lincolnshire for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

About trees applications

How this application type works

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

    1 Green Acres Waltham Grimsby North East Lincolnshire DN37 0QG

    am writing regarding a large spruce at 1 Green Acres, Waltham, DN37 0QG. The tree is very large and mature and is situated close to the property. Its dense canopy causes substantial shading and a significant loss of natural daylight to the house and garden. I would be grateful if you could confirm whether this spruce is covered by a Tree Preservation Order and, if so, provide the TPO reference and plan identifying the tree. I would also like to request that a Tree Officer inspects the tree and considers whether removal would be appropriate given its current size, proximity to the property and the significant shading it causes. I note that the Council has previously permitted the removal and reduction of TPO-protected trees at 4 and 5 Green Acres where shading and proximity to properties were relevant considerations, including application DM/0101/20/TPO at 4 Green Acres. If removal were considered appropriate, I would be happy to discuss suitable replacement planting in a more appropriate location.
