Welbourn Manor Care Home High Street Welbourn Lincoln Lincolnshire LN5 0NH
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T31 - Sycamore - crown lift lowest branches over building and garden, remove any deadwood over 70mm and sever ivy. T23 - Sycamore - crown lift lowest branches over hanging building and road, removal of epicormic/basal growth at the base of the tree, removal of deadwood over 70mm and sever ivy. Client may end up looking at a full removal if they put this building into a residential property, as the tree has heavily overgrown the building and any further works than a crown lift will be too much for the tree. If this is an option I will need to inform the client. T29 - Beech - Crown lift over hanging branches, as shown in annotated photo, to clear Northeastern drive. (See 26/1258/TCA for other detail)

31 The Park Potterhanworth Lincoln Lincolnshire LN4 2EB
T1 - Lime - Approx. 16m in height with. spread of approx. 7m There was an application made in June 2026 which was accepted by the council to reduce this tree all round by 1.5m - 26/0668/TPO When we came to complete the work in August, we noticed a significant decline in the trees health. The main canopy appears to be dying back with very sparse foliage on the upper and outer branches. Please see attached photo which was taken on 11th of August. The owner of the tree would like to request a reduction of up to 6m - as depicted in the photograph with red lines, it is hoped that with this level of reduction it will help the tree to regenerate as there did appear to be some foliage on the lower limbs and close to the main stem.
