The Oaks 23 Hill Road Penwortham Preston Lancashire PR1 9XH

Awaiting decision South Ribble 07/2026/00481/TPO Trees

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

T1 Mature Purple Beech: Reduce the crown by approximately 3-4 metres or to nearest growing point in accordance with the specification and annotated photographs contained within the attached Arboricultural Report. Works to include reduction of the upper crown and selected lateral limbs to create a balanced crown form, reducing end-weight and wind loading while retaining the tree's natural shape and amenity value. T2 Sycamore: Fell to ground level due to advanced physiological decline and poor long-term retention potential. T3 Sycamore: Fell to ground level. Tree is dead and presents an unacceptable risk of failure. T4 Sycamore: Fell to ground level. Tree is dead and presents an unacceptable risk of failure.
