  Re Pollard Chestnut. It is considered that the proposal to re-pollard the horse chestnut is appropriate. As the tree has been previously pollarded the re-growth will not be as strongly attached to the parent stem as naturally formed growth, as such if the re-growth is allowed to get too heavy it can be liable to snapping out during unsettled weather. Also the horse chestnut overhangs the main road, and would have the potential to cause damage should it fail. There are a number of other substantial trees in the adjacent area to the horse chestnut. Due to the other trees in the area, the proposed works are unlikely to have any detrimental impact on the amenity of the area and as such it is recommended that the works are approved.

There are plans to plant new trees where appropriate spaces become available. At the moment some of the planting in the park is very densely spaced and some trees are becoming very drawn up and spindly rather than reaching their full potential, quite a number (sycamore, ash and holm oak) are self seeded and are therefore not necessarily in the best positions and may even cause future damage to the boundary walls. It would not therefore be appropriate to plant more trees in these circumstances but better to plant where there are gaps in the canopy.

  The Holm Oak in my garden excessively shades the morning sun and is higher than the adjacent hedge. The oak has no amenity value. I would like to have it pruned to achieve a consistent boundary hedge and lessen shading, which will help my garden thrive. I hope the photograph showig the lower (ideal) hedge height is helpful

  Tree Species and Reference: Lime (T1) - as identified on the sketch plan. Description of Proposed Works: Fell to ground level. Reason for Works: The basal stem exhibits extensive decay with a large area of dysfunction and an open cavity, consistent with advanced wood degradation. There is clear evidence of ascending decay, indicating progressive structural compromise originating from a root infection. The tree, approximately 4 metres in height, was last pollarded in 2010. Given the extent of decay and the presence of an open cavity at the base, the structural integrity of the stem is significantly compromised. The tree owner has expressed concern regarding the safety of retaining the tree in its current condition, particularly due to its proximity to areas of frequent access by occupants of the neighbouring property. Replacement Planting Proposal: A replacement Lime tree (Tilia - europaea) is proposed to be planted within the same vicinity, subject to site suitability. The replacement will be container-grown, approximately 10-12 cm girth, and planted during the next dormant season to ensure successful establishment.
