Planning application
5 Alexandra Road Clevedon BS21 7QE
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
T1: Fell Holm Oak There is a large historic wound at the base of the tree on the road-facing side, with clear signs of advanced decay. From within the property boundary, there is a substantial cavity at the base of the stem, large enough to insert a hand, indicating significant internal decay and loss of structural integrity. Further decay is evident within the first main fork, associated with an old wound. Water is present and visibly seeping from this area, suggesting ongoing internal decay and compromised wood strength. The location of this defect at the primary union significantly increases the likelihood of structural failure. Due to the extent and position of the decay, the tree is considered at risk of failure at the first main fork and/or basal stem. Hazards / Targets: The tree is adjacent to a public footpath and road, with frequent pedestrian use and regularly parked vehicles beneath the canopy. The tree also overhangs the highway and the nearby property. Failure of the tree, or part thereof, would pose a significant risk to public safety, vehicles, and property.
