Whilst this tree is outside the conservation area, it forms part of an approved planning application. I don?t know if I require permission to fell this tree, it does not have a TPO. Applying for permission to remove T003 (Horse Chestnut) and replace it with Evergreen Ceanothus Tree The attached tree survey describes T003 as: Having leaf miner Fair physiological & structural condition Restricted rooting environment east due to steep bank Slight torsional form to stem. Stem bifurcates at 4m Crown reduced Heavily pruned on North side to avoid SSEN & BT cables. SSEN will always have to lop the north side periodically, thus it could well become structurally unstable over time, given it's adjacent to a very steep verge with a restricted roof environment. The tree leans towards my neighbours house (Kennet House, opposite side of Castle Lane). See photo. The Yew tree (G004) and Ash (T007) fell in an uncontrolled fashion on 2nd Jan 2024 ( Storm Henk), very narrowly missing (maximum 2 inches) my neighbour?s house (Westerly), though they did damage their wall and garden shrubs. Though permission to remove these had been granted (23/02560/TPC) The Horse Chestnut (T003) could also in a severe storm have the potential to fall unexpectedly onto Kennett House. My neighbour from Kennett House often raises this with me. This tree is not identified as either high quality or high value in the tree survey. There will be always be on-going issues with SSEN & BT cables for the north side The tree will be replaced with Evergreen Ceanothus Tree This will avoid ongoing issues with SSEN and BT Cables, and ensure it doesn?t come down in a storm and damage Kennett House. Permission was granted to removed trees & hedging in 2023 (23/02560/TPC). This work has been completed, and a yew hedge planted in 2024 as agreed.
