Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 Macrocarpa 16m high: Reduce the lateral branches only by up to 2m, to leave a finished lateral spread. height and width to remain the same Reason: Routine maintenance 1. Proximity to the Houses and buildings The tree is situated dangerously close to the house. As it continues to grow, the root system will expand further, potentially leading to structural damage to the foundations of the property. Additionally, the proximity increases the risk of falling branches, which could cause significant harm to the property or its occupants, especially during adverse weather conditions. 2. Previous Pruning and Maintenance The trees continued expansion has proven difficult to control. The regular pruning required to keep the tree at bay is not only unsustainable but also diminishes the tree's aesthetic and structural integrity. 3. Impact on the Property The tree casts substantial shadow over the property, significantly reducing natural light within the home. This not only affects the living conditions but could also contribute to dampness and other issues commonly associated with limited sunlight exposure. The tree's overhanging branches also extend over the roof, posing a continuous risk of damage to the roofing structure. 4. Future Growth Potential Given that the tree is not yet fully grown, it is expected to continue expanding both in height and breadth. This will exacerbate all the aforementioned concerns, further endangering the property and its occupants. The tree's removal now, while it is still manageable, is a prudent measure to prevent future complications that may arise from its unchecked growth. 5. Alternative Mitigation Measures While pruning and other maintenance...

T2 Oak 12m high - Fell Reasons: Although not yet fully grown, has already reached a considerable size. Its continued growth poses significant concerns due to its location and the impact on the property. I wish to outline the key reasons why removal is not only advisable but necessary: 1. Proximity to the Houses and buildings The tree is situated dangerously close to the house. As it continues to grow, the root system will expand further, potentially leading to structural damage to the foundations of the property. Additionally, the proximity increases the risk of falling branches, which could cause significant harm to the property or its occupants, especially during adverse weather conditions. 2. Previous Pruning and Maintenance The trees continued expansion has proven difficult to control. The regular pruning required to keep the tree at bay is not only unsustainable but also diminishes the tree's aesthetic and structural integrity. 3.
