    G5 - 1 x Pine tree - the snow over the weekend has caused two large branches to become very dangerous. One has almost snapped off completely and is hanging vertically down and the weight of this has caused the other two also break but not too seriously. Remedial work is urgently required because the branches overhang my neighbours back door and would certainly cause considerable damage to the property if not damage to human beings. G5 The group of trees consisting of 11 Pines and 1 Beech Spec: S5 Remove damaged branches Reason: R1 Sound arboricultural management

    P21/S3863/TPO Submitted 7 Sep 2021 0m away

    G2- x3 Cypress (mis identified as Western Red Cedar on the original application) An application was made in 2016 to fell the three trees in this group and permission was granted. This application is being made as the original permission has subsequently expired. It is proposed that the x3 trees in this group are felled and replaced as per the original application. One of the trees in this group has had continual tear outs, another a thinning canopy with the remaining multi-stemmed tree in relative good shape by comparison but would be exposed to buffering once the adjacent companion trees are removed. The trees are over mature. The benefit of removing the trees and replacing with Cherry trees to mirror the existing impressive Japanese specimen already present on site would create a continuation of the tree-scape and further reinforce the planting of the era.

    T2 Ash - Reduce the height and spread of the tree by up to 1.5 metres, approximately back to the previous pruning points. Reduce the growth extending towards the house and surrounding shrubs by up to 2 metres to provide additional clearance and address the existing crown imbalance. Additionally, crown lift over the garden to provide a minimum clearance of 3 metres above ground level. Ensure a natural, well-balanced crown is retained. Reasons for Works – The tree is located in close proximity to the property and has previously been managed in line with the proposed works. The objective is to maintain the tree at an appropriate size for its location while continuing the established management regime.

    There are two trees in the front garden Permission is requested to fell both trees. Tree 1 = Weeping Birch Tree Tree 2 = Maple Tree Weeping Birch (Tree 1) This has become too large for the site, the roots are lifting the paving around it, making it a trip hazard. Roots have also entered the nearby drains, causing problems. Permission is sought to fell the tree, to make safe access to the property and to make space on the driveway for off street parking. (There is a nearby primary school, and parking can be a challenge.) Maple (Tree 2) This tree has also become too big for its location, which is very close to the boundary of No. 5 and No. 7 Vicarage Rd, causing lifting of the paving around it. It is also very close to both houses. Permission is sought to fell this tree.
