Split decision South Norfolk 20220738 Works to TPO trees

Works: Trees

Part of this application was approved and part refused. The decision notice on the council portal sets out which is which.

Proposal

T11 Oak - Approx height 18m. Reduce by 3-4m. T12 Monterey Cypress - Approx height 18m. Reduce by 3-4m. T13 Red Cedar - Approx height 16m. Reduce by 2-3m. All three trees will have their crowns raised to 4 metres above ground level on their southern aspects and any major dead wood will be removed from the canopy. A group of sycamore trees is present in close proximity to plot 1 (Figure 4). It is unclear from the tree protection plan which tree number is affixed to this group of sycamore. One stem from the southeastern edge of the group is to be removed as it greatly overhangs the garden of plot 1. The remaining trees in the group trees are to have their lateral branches reduced by 2-3 metres where they extend southwards towards plot 1.

    Land To The South Of Salhouse Road Sprowston NR7 8GG

    T11 Oak - Crown lift and reduce lateral canopy T12 Monterey Cypress - Crown lift and reduce lateral canopy T13 Red Cedar - Crown lift and reduce lateral canopy. All three trees will have any major dead wood removed from the canopy. The crown should be raised or lifted by removing small low lateral limbs and by reducing branch endings to suitable secondary growing points to achieve an even height of approximately 4m above ground level. The southern crown radii should be reduced and reshaped sympathetically by no more than 2m, retaining a "natural" crown habit for the species wherever possible reducing back to suitable secondary growing points. A group of sycamore trees is present in close proximity to plot 1 (Figure 4). One stem from the south-eastern edge of the group is to be removed as it greatly overhangs the garden of plot 1. The remaining trees in the group trees are to have their lateral branches reduced by 2-3 meters where they extend southwards towards plot 1.
