Planning application

Hartwell Ford Corporation Road Grimsby North East Lincolnshire DN31 1UH

Granted North East Lincolnshire DM/0874/20/TPO Works to a tree with a TPO

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Trees identified as G1 on the order (67 Cypress Trees) We wish to remove the lower branches and foliage to give a ground clearance of 3m along the entire length of trees as identified in sketch 1. Also in Photo1, Photo3 and Photo5 there are a number of trees with hazardous split branches as pictured. We wish to remove the affected branches. Our reasons for the proposed works are primarily health and safety grounds. The split branches are self explanatory. As you can see from Photo5 and Photo6 our client has coned the area off due to the risk. The reason for removing the lower branches is to allow maintenance access under the trees. Due to the adjacent street location of these Cypress trees there is debris and litter collecting underneath which is not accessible and which posses a health hazard. There are also invasive weeds including elderberry trees which can not be accessed. These are growing and impeding the public highway as seen on photo4. Our client has a responsibility and legal duty to keep any growth clear of the public highway and the lack of access is a major problem for them to carry out their duty. The presence of weeds and litter is also detrimental to any amenity value that this group of trees may be considered to have.

    RE: Trees identified as G1 (67 Cypress Trees) with reference to North East Lincolnshire Borough Council No.74(r/o Hartwell Ford, Corporation Road, Grimsby) Tree Preservation Order 2002. Remove emove lower branches to give a ground clearance of 4m along the entire length of this group. The group infringes on a hard standing which is used for parking vehicles by the motor trade business occupying the land. The group of trees had a previous crown raise approved (ground clearance of 3m) under DM/0874/20/TPO in late 2020. The owner has found that with the growth of the trees, the extra weight of the branches is causing them to droop and infringe on this clearance. We would like to increase this previous work by 1m to allow for future growth.
