About amendment applications

An amendment application makes limited changes to a permission that already exists; anything beyond modest adjustment needs a fresh application. More in our guide to planning application types.

    Tree no's, location and specification detailed on appended drawing. TPO 0030 (2003) T3: T697-B English oak to reduce branch over road to lateral behind edge of road (tree features an overextended branch which overhangs the road. This branch appears to be dying back and will continually form deadwood overhanging the road. However, this can be reduced to behind the edge of the road, thereby removing this ongoing requirement to revisit the tree to remove deadwood. Reduce branch over road to lateral behind edge of road). TPO 0024 (2003) A4: T275-C Norway maple to preform an overall reduction of 25% (to reduce sail on unbalanced crown). T555-E Austrian pine to fell (due to Red Band Needle Blight has resulted in the death of most of the crown. Specimen will be completely dead within the next growing season or two). T200-C Common beech to remove limb with fruiting bodies attached. T560-E Norway maple to fell (due to multi-stemmed form with weak bark-included unions. Specimen located adjacent to main vehicle entrance. Defect worsening as the tree grows, thus removal and replacement sought). T136-D Beech to fell (due to multiple fruiting bodies of Meripilus giganteus around the base. Concern over root decay and windthrow risk). T184-C Black pine to fell (due to Red Band Needle Blight has resulted in the death of most of the crown. Specimen will be completely dead within the next growing season or two). T224-C Corsican pine to fell (due to sparse crown due to prolonged Red Band Needle Blight. Specimen will be completely dead within the next growing season or two). T309-C Common beech to reduce height by 50% (due to significant decline). T340-C Horse chestnut to remove some end weight from eastern limb/stem. TPO 0024 (2003) A2: T832-F Ash to pollard at 7m (infected with Innonotus hispidus with brackets visible in the crown).
