Works to a Tree in Conservation Area Notification

Description

Olive Tree - approximately 10-12 metres high, and 3.8 meters from the rear elevation of the house, shown as number 1 on the sketch plan. We propose felling this tree because of its proximity to the rear elevation of the property and the risk of it causing subsidence and / or damage to upper windows which it is growing very close to, health and safety. An arborist advises that the tree presents a risk of causing subsidence to the house and needs to be removed. The arborist advised that cutting back the tree would cause it to grow even more vigorously and exacerbate the risk to the windows and of causing subsidence, therefore the tree should be removed.
