Proposal

30T Norway maple (possibly part of TPO group G7 and incorrectly identified as a sycamore. Covered by conservation area regardless of TPO). This tree is recommended for removal due to a large column of decay with visible Kretzschmaria deusta fungi from base of stem to stem bifurcation at 3m height. A sounding mallet test on the stem indicated extensive internal stem decay. The tree is located adjacent to a driveway and may be at risk of failure. Fell to ground level and grind stump. 32T Common yew (possibly part of TPO group G7 - exact location of trees on TPO plan is not clear.

This small tree (5m height, 160mm DBH, category C1) requires removal in order to facilitate the construction of a woodland walk footpath and adjacent bin store. The 3No. trees that are proposed for removal are located within a densely wooded area which limits the possibility for replanting due to light competition from the overhanging canopy. The submitted landscaping proposal (ASD_AW_101) contains details of planting to include shade tolerant shrubs, perennials, ferns and grasses. Also included is an Arboricultural Method Statement (BS5837 - 6 Loom Lane 45934687_AMS01 - 17-06-26) and Tree Protection Plan (BS5837 - 6 Loom Lane 45934687_TPP01 - 11-06-26) which details how the retained trees will...
