26/01053/PWC - Works to trees in Conservation Areas Pending Consideration

Proposal

Proposed Works: Fell to ground level and remove one self-set ash tree (Fraxinus excelsior), approximately 8 metres in height with a DBH of approximately 30cm. The tree has established naturally within a confined space between the boundary fence and adjacent concrete driveway on the front boundary between Nos. 34 and 36. It is heavily covered in ivy from the base to the crown. The tree is considered unsuitable for retention due to its location and the damage it is causing. The adjacent driveway is exhibiting signs of root-induced heave, and roots have encroached into the property, as evidenced by the accompanying photographs. The tree is also in direct conflict with an overhead utility pole carrying approximately 10 BT/Openreach telecommunications lines. Growth has become intertwined with the cables, several of which appear to be under tension, with sections of outer sheathing visibly damaged. Given the ongoing structural damage, root encroachment, and conflict with essential utility infrastructure, removal of the tree is considered the most appropriate and proportionate management option.
