Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Prune T1 Ash located at the front of house car parking bay according to the following specifications: Clean to remove all dead, diseased and broken branches 2 centimetres in diameter and larger throughout crown to improve health and appearance and reduce risk of branch failure. Raise lower branches to a height of 2-3 metres to improve clearance over neighbours property. Thin crown to remove approximately 10% of live branches to reduce crown density. Most thinning cuts will be between 1 and 3 centimetres in diameter. Reduce crown height and spread by approximately 3-4 metres to enhance natural form. Reduce crown height and spread to maintain a more compact shape to give neghbouring property more light and clearance over property sever and remove as much Ivy as we can from within the tree.

I was clearing up the rear of the garden and noticed a tree (i believe Cherry) is half uprooted (pictured attaced) - it starts on my property but the tree goes over the fence line into a neihbouring property (retirement homes) There looks like the tree has surived (and dont know how many years in that state) but leaves an open gap in the fence line leading to security concerns (as the fence line needs to be replaced) it doesnt look like the tree can be saved based on the angle it currently is (as would leave it extreemly ubstable if put back up) so reququest that the tree is felled. the tree is located behind the TPO lime tree (roughly 3meters behind)
