Planning application
37 Troutbeck Road Gatley Stockport SK8 4RP
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Tree species: Common Oak (Quercus robur) Description of proposed works: Fell to ground level, in accordance with BS 3998:2010, and establish an exclusion zone for the duration of works. Reasons for the work: The tree is an over-mature Common Oak in advanced, irreversible decline, with approximately 50% of the crown dead or absent, major deadwood, apical dieback, and fungal decay at both the roots and stem with associated buttress-root damage. A QTRA V5.4 (GB) assessment returns a Risk of Harm of approximately 1/500 ? Unacceptable ? governed by a basal/whole-tree (uprooting) failure mode. The extent of root and butt decay, combined with a low residual safety factor, means crown reduction or other retention works are not arboriculturally viable; felling is the only proportionate option. Full justification is set out in the accompanying assessment. Replanting proposals: One replacement tree to be planted within the rear garden ? a semi-mature feathered Quercus robur (standard, 10?12 cm girth), positioned clear of structures and underground services, planted in the next available bare-root season (November?March) and maintained in accordance with BS 8545:2014. TPO 10W.
