    26/00407/TR Submitted 22 Apr 2026 91m away

    02/2/23 (T225) Fell Corsican pine. This is a mature specimen situated within a small residential garden and directly overhangs a frequently used patio and the dwelling. The tree is also leaning directly towards a neighbouring property that is in close proximity. The tree has recently shed a substantial live limb (see attached), indicating active structural limb failure rather than minor deadwood shedding. The size and condition of the failed branch suggest an inherent weakness within the canopy structure. There are also breakages within the canopy. The species is known to develop long, end-weighted lateral limbs, and the current form of the tree is top-heavy with significant sail area concentrated in the upper crown. This increases the likelihood of further failures, particularly under wind loading. Given the high-value target area beneath the canopy and the unpredictable nature of the failure observed, the risk is considered ongoing and significant. Due to the form and species characteristics, pruning or reduction would not provide a suitable mitigation and may exacerbate structural issues. Removal is therefore requested on the grounds that the risk cannot be reasonably managed while retaining the tree.
