Proposal
Scots Pine T1 - TPO 16/02 Requesting to fell T1. T1 is approximately 50 feet tall, and located within a private garden on top of a 2.5m high bank, T1 is still growing and if the tree were to fall it would fall towards our house and garage causing severe / catastrophic damage to our house and our neighbours. T1 also has Ivy over half of T1, which could be weakening the integrity of the structure of the tree. The majority of the branches overhang the garden towards the house, as Scot Pine needles are toxic, this is also causing severe damage and killing a large area of grass. This is a new build house, the garden was dug up and the bank the tree is situated on was altered and dug up by excavators whilst removing other trees and gorse, I have spoken to a tree surgeon that has informed me that if the root structure was damaged or compromised at any point by the excavators digging or driving over the roots, this may not cause immediate issues but as the tree grows in height and weight it will become unstable and fall. Since the tree has been pollenating I have noticed that my daughter has been suffering from an allergy and causing her to cough, so I am unable to open her bedroom window as this is located at the back on the house. Behind our property is a conservation area with a large number of established trees, which surrounds the property, our house is situated at the end of the development, where there is a number of established trees next to T1, T1 is not a focal point of the area, and will not change the characteristics of the development if it were to be removed.

T1 Oak (Quercus robur) Crown reduce by 1 to 1.5m in places cutting back to suitable growth points to maintain a natural crown shape and form. Crown thin by 10 to 20% to reduce wind sail and density, removing crossing, rubbing and epicormic growth throughout the crown. Crown lift to approximately 2m above ground level, removing lower lateral limbs back to the trunk or a suitable growth point, to improve clearance. The current height is approximately 10 meters from ground level with a 6 meter radial spread. We will reduce in height by no more than 9 meters and radial spread will be reduced no more than 5 metres Works to be carried out in accordance with BS3998:2010 (Tree Work Recommendations).

We would also ask that we bring any over extending lateral branches back to the natural canopy line, in an attempt to prevent future limb failure.
