23 Lupton Drive Barrowford Lancashire BB9 6JT
T1 Mature lime (Tilia sp.), approx. 18 m tall at 23 Lupton Drive. Fell to ground level. Remove all arising timber and brash from site. Grind the stump to below ground level (or as directed by the Council) and backfill with suitable material. Make good the ground on completion. No other trees are included in this application. Removal plan 1. A qualified, insured arborist will carry out the work in accordance with BS 3998:2010 Tree work ? Recommendations. 2. The crown will be dismantled in sections using rigging where required so that falling timber does not damage the property, neighbouring land, or the highway. 3. All dead, hanging and decaying wood will be removed as part of the dismantling process. 4. The main stem will be felled or section-felled once the crown is down. 5. The stump will be ground out to a sufficient depth to allow replanting or making good of the surface. 6. All waste wood, brash and grindings will be removed from site and disposed of responsibly. Infected material associated with Ganoderma will not be left on site. 7. Work will be timed to avoid peak bird-nesting season unless a pre-works check confirms no active nests. 8. The site will be left tidy, with any damaged turf or surfaces reinstated.
