Planning application
16 Normay Rise Newbury RG14 6RY
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Scots Pine 1 - in high winds main trunk of tree has begun to lean. Tree already had a few degrees of lean but it has moved a further approx 10 degrees. There is no obvious ground movement as trunk is based in a cluster of trees. Photos attached clearly show a significant lean Southwards towards the house. This is a fully grown tree in excess of 30m. We suggest the removal to ground level of tree; Silver Birch 1 - This tree is over mature and displaying signs of die back. There is a long heavy lateral branch over the garden where the end 5m had died. The limb dropped several large branches over the summer. Suggest removal of the lateral limb back to main trunk to stabilise and elongate life of the tree.
