Proposal

06/00261/TPO (T40 - Beech - Crown lift by the removal of secondary branches only to provide a vertical clearance of 5.5 metres above the carriageway of Compton Road and 4.5 metres in all other instances. Remove the long over extended limb the is growing in a southerly in line with the boundary between 87 and 89 Compton Road back to the main stem. Crown reduce the lower (up to a height of approx. 6.5 metres) lateral branches that overhang the driveway of 87 Compton Road, back to an appropriate pruning point by no more than 1 third of their existing length. Remove one of the lower lateral limbs that are currently rubbing on each other, back to the first available pruning point before the point of rubbing. Crown thin the upper canopy up to a maximum canopy volume of 15%, prioritising the removal of any rubbing, duplicated, over extended or otherwise arboriculturally unsuitable branches back to the first available appropriate pruning point to ensure the healthy and well balanced canopy.

    The trees in question are a group of mature Corsican pine situated adjacent to residential properties, private garden assets, and a public footpath. Following the catastrophic failure of a neighboring tree within this group in December 2025 which resulted in significant structural damage to an adjacent property the site conditions have fundamentally changed. Our professional assessment concludes that the remaining specimens now present an imminent, foreseeable risk of failure that exceeds all acceptable risk thresholds as defined by the Quantified Tree Risk Assessment (QTRA) methodology . T1 this tree displays signs of basal movement, characterised by compromised soil stability around the root plate. Coupled with an unbalanced, heavily weighted crown leaning towards an adjacent, recently built outbuilding, the tree represents a high-probability target threat. The outbuilding has high value and high occupancy from the homeowner as it is his personal gym and also nursery for his young child. The owner and his child regularly play in the garden too. T2 exhibits significant limb failure within the crown as there is a large, broken limb which is hanging within the crown waiting to fall. Both T1 and T2 demonstrate elongated, exposed stems and poor physiological form, which are exacerbated by their history of mechanical failure. The recent loss of an adjacent tree of same species and age has removed critical wind buffering. The remaining trees are now exposed to altered wind loading and increased mechanical stress, significantly accelerating the risk of further, unpredictable failures within the group. This is evidenced by the fact that every tree within the group shows evidence of limb failures either through hanging branches or branch stubs, some of which are very large and pose an immediate threat to the outbuilding and public who use the adjacent footpath. Following the recent failure event and our subsequent QTRA analysis, the trees have been categorised as fal...
