  2 Hogarth Way, Rochford, Essex, SS4 3JY

  T5 ? Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) ? TPO 03/90Fell and remove T5 Hornbeam.The tree has increased substantially in height, canopy spread and density relative to the constrained front-garden space. The canopy is approximately 4.7m across and, at its closest point, extends to approximately 2.4m from the front elevation of the property. It extends over the driveway and pedestrian access and its increasing height, spread and density have reduced natural light reaching the front-facing lounge and bedroom, which are principal living spaces within the property.The application is not based on concerns regarding the health or structural condition of the tree, but on its increasing scale, continued growth potential and long-term relationship with the available front-garden space.The Council's suggestion of raising the crown to 1.5m and thinning the crown by 10% has been considered. While this would provide some short-term management of the existing canopy, it would not address the longer-term issue of the tree's scale and continued growth within the constrained frontage. For this reason, removal is considered a more appropriate long-term solution.I am willing to plant one suitable smaller-growing replacement tree within the front garden. Given the constrained nature of the frontage, I would welcome the opportunity to agree the appropriate species, planting position and size with the Local Planning Authority to ensure the replacement is suitable for the location.Please refer to the accompanying Supporting Evidence document and site plan for further information.
