42 Clifton Road Wolverhampton West Midlands WV6 9AP

Split decision Wolverhampton 26/00538/TR Lop, Top or Fell Trees Subject to a TPO

Works: Trees

Part of this application was approved and part refused. The decision notice on the council portal sets out which is which.

Proposal

02/2/73 T1 - Cedar - Remove the partially split and storm-damaged branch by pruning it back to the supporting union. This accords with BS3998:2010, which recommends the removal of defective or weakened branches where they present a foreseeable risk of failure. Reduce the extended branch over the garden by cutting it back to a suitable secondary growth point. This is consistent with BS3998:2010 guidance on crown reduction, ensuring that pruning cuts are made to appropriate laterals to maintain natural form, limit exposure, and reduce the likelihood of future structural imbalance. T2 - Ash - Side reduce on garden side of number 42 by no more than 2m, removing material no greater than 25mm in diameter. Remove deadwood throughout the crown (exempt from notification) to reduce the risk of branch drop and maintain safe site use. T3 Beech - Cut back the crown to provide a clearance of up to 3m from the roofline, selectively reducing only those branches that directly encroach on the structure. Pruning cuts will be made to suitable secondary growth points in accordance with BS3998:2010, maintaining natural form and avoiding excessive exposure of the remaining crown.

    21/00489/TN Submitted 8 Apr 2021 50 yards away

    T1 - Oak - Veteran Tree on top of sandstone cliff/embankment - Reduce by 50% - This is an over mature tree with significant defects and cavities, which is in a difficult location at the top of a steep bank, with no access for a MEWP. We would recommend removing a large proportion of the crown structure whilst it is still safe to do so as waiting for the tree to deteriorate further may increase the risk factor of carrying out the work. Whilst it is recognised that under normal circumstances such a heavy reduction would not be good practice, given the location and characteristics of this tree it may be prudent to be quite heavy with it now to reduce possible future risks. G1 - Mixed Group - Smaller trees on top of bank - Reduce height by up to 30%

    T1 - Lime Reduce back to previous pruning points/knuckles. This tree has been managed historically on a cyclical basis T2 - Lime Reduce back to previous pruning points/knuckles. This tree has been managed historically on a cyclical basis T3 - Lime Reduce back to previous pruning points/knuckles. This tree has been managed historically on a cyclical basis T4 - Lime Reduction of no more than 2m This tree has been missed as part of the pollarding cycle. The lime tree sits alongside three other limes T1,2 &3 (and a pear) that are managed as an established pollard line or group. Leaving one unmanaged tree disrupts the uniform appearance, balance, and visual symmetry of the feature. To establish visual continuity and structural uniformity within an existing group of historically managed trees. Bringing this final lime into harmony with the adjacent three pollarded limes will enhance the overall amenity and cohesive appearance of the garden boundary/feature. Initiating a managed pollard regime at this stage in the tree's development ensures future containment, preventing the tree from outgrowing its spatial constraints and reducing the likelihood of heavy, unmanaged interventions later in its maturity. This work can then take place gradually over the next 2-3 years T5 - Pear Reduce back to previous pruning points/knuckles. This tree has been managed historically on a cyclical basis

    T5201 - Oak - Reduce/pollard the crown to approx 6m, retaining the lower stem as standing deadwood habitat as appropriate - Decay at base on SE side. Sounding hammer indicated significant decay. Ganoderma bracket present, tree previously pollarded T5204 - Silver Birch - Fell tree - Tree leaning over residential garden T5205 - Oak - Reduce/pollard crown to approx 8m to reduce end-weight and loading towards the adjacent residential gardens - Cavity at 6m on west side, canopy leaning over gardens T5206 - Oak - Reduce/pollard crown to approx 8m - Crown extends over adjacent residential gardens following the failure/removal of an adjacent tree Remove several Holly trees overhanging neighbouring gardens down as close to ground level as practicably possible. H1/H2/H3 The holly trees require removal to facilitate safe and efficient implementation of the approved oak tree works and future boundary maintenance. Owing to their boundary location, retention would create ongoing management and access constraints for adjoining landowners. Their contribution to the character and appearance of the conservation area is limited, and their removal is not considered detrimental to local amenity.
