Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

T3 - Weeping Willow to restructure to 3m below historic topping points and reshape to allow for future growth to mitigate risk of failure. T4 & 5 - Two dead trees behind shed to fell to ground level. T1 - Beech tree by building to dismantle in sections to ground level. Potentially unstable fork union at crown break. Tree is not sustainable long term and notwithstanding the weak union the tree is too close to the building to be sustainable long term without constant management pruning. T2 - Pine tree to reduce lowest limb by 1-1.5m to mitigate risk of failure. T1 Beech Spec: S16 Fell tree to ground level and grind stump. Reason: R4 To address potential hazard Reason: R6 Poor, structural condition T2 Pine Spec: S1 Reduce lowest limb by 1-1.5m Reason: R2 To ensure future compatibility with site, surroundings and usage T3 Willow Spec: S1 Reduce to 3m below historic topping points. Reason: R2 To ensure future compatibility with site, surroundings and usage
