Planning application

The Old House High Street Chieveley Newbury RG20 8UX

Awaiting decision West Berkshire 26/02203/TPW

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Lime tree T1: fell to ground level. The tree is severely dangerous and decayed at the base and ready to fall over. We have already gained emailed confirmation from west berks the tree can be felled. Sycamore tree T2: fell to ground level. It is a small sapling that is growing into the brick wall right behind the public bus stop. If it is allowed to carry on growing it will destroy this wall and could cause harm to the public. Macrocarpa tree T3: dead wood removal and limb reduction of 2 metres. The tree has bad canopy health, lots of deadwood and the live limbs are showing signs of potential failure. I seriously recommend removing the dead wood and reducing the live limbs back by 2 metres, bringing the canopy into a more safe state and much lower risk of limb failure.

    There are three lime trees on my driveway. I would like to re-pollard the tree nearest the house (marked as 'Lime Tree 3' on the sketch plan) back to previous pollard points. Our cars are parked near this tree. The branches now overhang the cars and cover them in sap in the summer which attracts large numbers of wasps onto the cars (we've counted over 50 on many occasions). Repollarding will remove the likelihood of getting stung by wasps as we get in and out of the cars.
