Planning application

3 Glebe Close Long Ashton North Somerset BS41 9DB

Split decision North Somerset 23/P/0616/TPO Works to TPO

Works: Trees Domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Part of this application was approved and part refused. The decision notice on the council portal sets out which is which.

Proposal

Oak - reduce branch length by 3.5m where the canopy oversails the garden. Works requested to reduce canopy to a size more suitable for the location in a domestic garden, given proximity to the dwelling and garage and extent of shading and loss of sunlight to the garden which is considered excessive. Over the last 25 years the tree canopy has grown substantially such that it now covers 2/3 of the garden and at the current rate will cover the entire garden very soon. Appropriate tree pruning and sympathetic pruning is required and should be at no detriment to the tree. See attached professional report for more details (note works to yew carried out under a different application arranged by neighbour).
