PA/2026/0734 - Consent under Tree Preservation Orders Valid

Proposal

T17 Oak - cut back lateral branches by 2m to leave a finished spread of 8m. T19 Oak -cut back lateral branches by 2m to leave a finished spread of 8m. The proposed pruning above is required to provide sufficient clearance for the safe construction of the new building. Selected lateral branches extending towards the proposed building footprint and access route require reduction to allow for safe construction activities. The works have been limited to those branches necessary to achieve the required clearance. No greater pruning is proposed than is reasonably necessary, and every effort will be made to retain the tree's health, structural integrity, and visual amenity. All pruning will be carried out in accordance with current arboricultural best practice. Data via plota.co.uk
