Proposal
T1. Large Copper Beech at front of property- it was noted that a large bough had broken off the tree on 23/05/26 and although the tree appeared to be healthy, it was noted that the bough was very large and heavy and hence the reason for falling. So recommended work is for tree branches to be cut back to points of new growth, keeping shape and tree visually aesthetic. Tree to be lifted all round, off pathway and away from street lights etc. Tree to be dead wooded, removing the smaller branches out of the tree. T2. Dying Oak tree at the front of property - to be dead wooded and cut back to point of living growth to encourage further new growth and prolong life of tree

T1 Oak Remove to The tree works are proposed to stop the influence of the tree(s) on the soil below building foundation level and provide long term stability.to 14 Heathfield Road Redditch B97 5SQ Estimated costs of repair to the building are ?63360.00 if the influence of the tree(s) remain and ?4,225.10 if the proposed tree works are allowed to proceed. Granting permission will limit these costs. In the event of a refusal we, or our clients, will seek to secure compensation for the additional costs incurred through Section 202(e). Should the tree/s remain the total cost of repairs will be the Superstructural repairs + Alternative method of repairs = ?67585.10 It is the expert opinion of both the case engineer and arboriculturalist that on the balance of probabilities the supporting information demonstrates the influence of the tree(s).
