  P26/S0790/TCA Submitted 13 Mar 2026 101m away

  T1 Monterey Pine - Fell to ground level. T3 Beech - Fell to ground level. T4 Norway Spruce - Fell to ground level. Reason for works: T1 - This tree has become unsuitable for its current location. It has been planted within 0.5 metres of the road and directly below multiple utility cables. Due to these constraints, and the increased risk of potential damage to people or property caused by large cones falling into the road, the tree's long-term potential is limited. Removal is therefore considered the only feasible option, as pruning options for this species are limited. T3 - This tree was originally planted as part of the hedge but has been unmanaged and has established into a small tree. It has developed a crown that is dominant on one side due to suppression from the neighbouring Birch tree. Removal will allow the hedge to be managed and maintained as a uniform hedge. T4 - This is a leaning tree that is heavily clad in ivy. The tree is unsuitable for its location and, due to limited pruning options, removal is considered the most appropriate management option. The property owner intends to renovate the garden and has indicated that they plan to plant more suitable trees that would enhance the surrounding environment.
