  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.

  T1 Pine (first tree of group) - Fell as close to ground level as possible due to poor form - The tree is one-sided with lateral branches extending only to the SW due to a restricted growth pattern as part of a group. Now left at increased wind exposure following the removal of 2 neighbouring pines from 26b Wrottesley Road in 2021. The site is currently being developed, there was found to be a buried brick structure at least 2m deep within the rooting area of T1 which will have impeded the root development, there is very limited lateral root structure in the South-Western direction, which is also the direction of the crown growth.

  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.

  Cadet Centre Halecroft Avenue Wolverhampton West Midlands WV11 1TS

  06/00074/TPO, Halecroft Avenue, Wednesfield, Tree Preservation Order 1997 [02/2/445] (T1) Specification of Proposed Works Prune the protected tree to remove and/or selectively reduce only those branches that are currently overhanging and contacting, or are likely to come into contact with, the roof and guttering of the building. In addition, selectively prune branches around the overhead telephone/broadband cable supplying the cadet centre, removing only those branches that are currently contacting the cable or are sufficiently close that they are likely to interfere with, place pressure on, or damage the cable. The pruning is to be carried out sympathetically and to the minimum extent necessary to provide adequate clearance from the roof, guttering and telecommunications cable, while retaining the natural form, health and structural integrity of the tree. No unnecessary or excessive crown reduction is proposed. All arisings, branches and other tree waste generated by the works are to be removed from site on completion, leaving the area clean and tidy.
