PL/2026/04021 - Consent under Tree Preservation Orders Withdrawn

Proposal

T1 Ash - Reduce crown by up to 3 metres, maintaining a natural shape and balanced crown form. Remove deadwood throughout the crown. Tree is showing advanced symptoms of ash dieback. T2 Twisted Willow - No taller than 6m. The tree is heavily leaning and encroaching into the garden of No. 18, while also casting significant shade over the adjacent shrubbery. Pollarding back to the fence line would provide a short-term solution; however, this would require ongoing maintenance and would result in a poor aesthetic appearance. Fell. Data via plota.co.uk
