Planning application

159 Rawreth Lane, Rayleigh, Essex, SS6 9RN

Withdrawn Rochford 23/00022/TPO Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.

Proposal

The OAK tree can be identified as T3 - B2 on the planning application ref 22/0161/FUL recently submitted by the agents of the owner of 155 Rawreth Lane.The branches of the tree now extend over half of my frontage and some of them are actually touching my roof. Light to my front two bedrooms is severely restricted. The fall of leaves, acorns and general debris from this tree is a continuous nuisance with which I have to contend . I am also having to pay for my gutters and downpipes to be cleared each year. I should like the branches that overhang my property to reduced by one half. I should also point out that there is an overhead electricity cable and telephone wires that are affected by this tree. Last year BT had to renew their cable which had been damaged by this tree.

    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.
