26/00510/TR - Lop, Top or Fell Trees Subject to a TPO Approved

Proposal

02/2/33 (W3) Crown lift to driveway access Silver Birch (Betula). Remove two low overhanging secondary branches extending over the driveway access on the south-east aspect of the tree. The branches currently sit at approximately 2.0 metres (6.0 feet) above ground level and obstruct vehicle access. Standard removal/delivery vans require greater clearance (typically around 3.5?4.5 metres), creating a clear risk of contact. There is a foreseeable risk of damage to both the tree (through breakage/tearing of branches) and to vehicles attempting access if the branches remain. Works are limited to the minimum necessary to achieve safe vehicular access. No additional pruning proposed. Tree form, structure and amenity value will be retained. Access is required for removal vehicles in connection with a house clearance and move scheduled on or around 20 May 2026. Data via plota.co.uk
