Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1 oak- mature native oak - reduce height by approx 4m and side branches by approx 3m, back to suitable growth points (BS3998) to leave balanced shaped tree. Crown lift of lowest branches. Remove major deadwood. This is a large tree for the location adjacent to houses, branches are touching No 14 Leoprd Rise and they spread significantly over 2 Oaklands. There has been a large limb shed and is hanging in the crown. The shape if the outer canopy is somewhat unbalanced with some heavily extended lateral branches. The proposed crown reduction would rebalance the shape of the crown to uniform shape and reduce likihood of further branch failure. Similar specifation works has recently beeen carried out of neighbouring mature oak trees at Aconbury Close and Popert Drive No 2 Oaklands is joint applicant on this application and would like to have the tree reduced to improve the usability of their garden.

  • 26/00636/CAN Granted

    Driftwood 218 Hylton Road Worcester WR2 5LA

    T1 – Cherry: Reduce back to previous pruning points and reshape the remaining crown to maintain a balanced and natural form. T2 & T3 – Birch (2 no.): Fell to ground level. T4 – Early-mature self-seeded Oak: Fell to ground level. Reason for Works : The overhead telecommunications line passes directly through the crowns of all four trees and is subject to ongoing conflict with their growth. BT/Openreach has previously undertaken works to tighten the line and advised that the trees require management to maintain adequate clearance from the infrastructure. In addition, the two birch trees (T2 and T3) are causing damage to the adjacent boundary fence and are likely to result in further displacement and deterioration if retained. The self-seeded oak (T4) is currently at an early-mature stage but has the potential to become a substantial tree. Given its proximity to the telecommunications line and the constraints of its location, it is likely to outgrow the available space and create increasing conflicts with both the overhead infrastructure and surrounding land uses. Removal at this stage is considered the most appropriate long-term management solution. The proposed works will resolve the existing conflict with the telecommunications line, prevent further damage to the boundary fence, and avoid the need for more extensive management works in the future.

    12 Silverdale Avenue Worcester WR5 1PY

    T1 - Lime - Carry out selective Crown reduction to maximum of 2.5 Metres from the branch tips, remove any significant dead wood and Mistletoe infestations. Tree has some heavy lateral growth in some directions, giving a slightly unbalanced shape and the tree is causing a lot of shade over the property. Aim is to balance canopy and carry out general maintenance due to its proximity to the house.

    63 Spetchley Road Worcester WR5 2LR

    T1 Oak - The tree has suffered a recent major limb failure. Large wound visible. Reduce crown height and branch radial length by approx. 1/3rd. Tree approx. 20 meters in height - a 5-meter linear reduction would leave the tree approx. 15 meters in height. Shape lateral growth accordingly.
