The council has decided this application; the published outcome sits in the record above and the decision notice on the council portal carries the detail, including any conditions.

If permission was granted, work must normally begin within three years of the decision. If it was refused, the applicant can appeal within the statutory time limit or submit a revised scheme.

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.

  G1 - Group comprising 3 no. Small Ash and 1 no. Large Ash - Remove Reason: All ash trees within the group are exhibiting severe symptoms of Ash Dieback and are in irreversible decline. Removal has been approved on arboricultural grounds. T1 - Elm - Remove Reason: The elm tree is dead and its removal has been approved. T2 - Elm - Remove lower branches Reason: The removal of the lower branches has been approved to reduce suppression of an adjacent small field maple, allowing improved light penetration and growing conditions while retaining the elm

  T1 - Beech: Crown reduce by pruning back to suitable secondary growth on two limbs extending over the highway and one limb extending over the garden, whilst retaining the tree's natural crown shape and form. Reason: To reduce the end weight on the affected limbs in an effort to lessen the likelihood of further branch failures, following the loss of three large limbs over the past couple of years.

  11 Applegarth Barrowford Lancashire BB9 6RR

  T1 Sycamore - Fell Reason: The tree has historic damage, potentially fire damage, to the lower stem, resulting in exposed heartwood and associated decay. The removal of the tree is considered justified on the grounds of its declining structural condition and in the interests of safety. T2 Weeping Beech - Crown lift to 5.5m Reason: Works are proportionate to the size of the tree and will provide appropriate clearance while retaining its overall form and amenity value. T3 Oak - Crown lift to 4.5m, reduce first long lateral limb and limb adjacent to it back from the house and remove epicormic growth and water shoots. Reason: The works will reduce encroachment towards the dwelling, address concerns regarding the long lateral limbs, and improve the tree's overall form while maintaining its amenity value. T4 & T5 - Sycamore - Remove epicormic growth and water shoots. Reason: Minor maintenance works that will improve the appearance of the trees without adversely affecting their health, structure, or amenity value.

  Tree T8 ? Common Lime (Tilia ? europaea) Tree T8 is a mature Common Lime positioned immediately adjacent to the property's dry-stone boundary wall. Evidence observed during the inspection indicates that the tree has contributed to inward movement of the wall towards the garden, most noticeably following recent winter weather and prolonged saturated ground conditions. The tree has previously undergone crown reduction to lessen excessive end-weight over the property; however, canopy regrowth has restored significant sail effect and loading. Given the observed wall displacement, the tree's size, and its proximity to the property, further pruning is unlikely to provide a satisfactory long-term solution. Removal is therefore recommended to eliminate the risk of continued structural movement and prevent further damage to the boundary wall while maintaining public and property safety. Tree T9 ? Common Lime (Tilia ? europaea) Tree T9 is another mature Common Lime that has previously been managed through crown reduction due to its proximity to the property and excessive canopy weight. The tree remains in good physiological condition but has regenerated a large, dense crown, increasing wind loading and mechanical stress on the stem and rooting system. A pollard to approximately 8 metres above ground level is recommended. Lime responds well to pollarding, and this work will significantly reduce sail effect, encourage vigorous regeneration, improve long-term structural stability, and retain the tree as an important landscape feature. Tree T10 ? Common Lime (Tilia ? europaea) Tree T10 is of similar age, size and condition to T9 and has also been previously managed. The canopy has regenerated substantially, resulting in increased wind loading and canopy weight. Pollarding to approximately 8 metres is recommended to reduce structural loading, minimise future risk, and establish a sustainable long-term management cycle. This approach will retain the tree while promoting hea
