PA26/3450 - Works to Trees Under TPO Registered

Proposal

T1 Lime tree located directly adjacent to no 29 with cavity located on the main stem at appox 4 metres. the tree is within 2 metres of the property and has been pollarded in the past but is still a major cause for concern following another large decayed Lime tree failing onto no 29 causing significant damage to the roof. Fell, stump grind and replant a more suitable species a bit further from the property. T2 Lime tree located adjacent to T1 leaning over the main footpath for resisdents, this tree has Gonoderma at the base and has been monitored for 5 plus years. the tree was also pollarded significantly in recent years but all residents have agreed that due to the basal decay and lack of amenity value of both trees they would rather fell and replant a more suitable species. T3 Eucalyptus tree, reduce back to previous points, current height 10m, final height 8 metres, current spread 10 metres, final spread 6 metres. Data via plota.co.uk

Flood zone 2, rivers and sea
Medium chance: between a 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 to 1 in 1,000 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.
