26/3166/TPO - Works to TPO Trees Pending Consideration

Proposal

Beech, designation T1 and Lime, designation T2. Pollarding Height and Crown Reduction: Pollarding will be undertaken to reduce the height and spread of the trees. The aim is to reduce the risk of further damage to the drains, front wall, and surrounding environment. A reduction of the crown to up to 4 meters will be implemented, ensuring that the trees are safe and manageable. Removal of Damaged or Dangerous Branches: Any dead, dying, or potentially dangerous branches will be safely removed to reduce the risk of falling debris and improve pedestrian and vehicle safety. Pruning of Roots (if necessary): If any roots are still contributing to structural damage, these will be pruned carefully, in accordance with best arboricultural practices, to prevent further disruption to the drains and the property’s foundations.
