About trees applications

How this application type works

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

    T1 - mature Horse Chestnut - This tree is very large and is bifocated at 4m with a questionable union. and is positioned over both number 35 and the next door neighbors children's bedrooms. This has been a point of contention as the neighbor is concerned about the tree in the high winds. One branch has already fallen. The tree is also causing excessive shading for both property's. I propose a 3.5m reduction in height and 2.5m reduction on the sides. Removal of deadwood. Crown lift to 4.5m.
