DC/26/143358 - Trees in Conservation Areas Approved

Proposal

REAR: ONE Ash (T2)(ht.9m) FELL. Reason: tree has basal decay, vertical split in the trunk, previous pollard, health and safety risk, substantial size disproportionate to the relatively small garden causing light deprivation, the tree interferes with the boundary making replacement of garden fencing impractical. Replacement tree to be planted - either UK grown birch or hawthorn. Informative A: the proposed replacement tree planting in the garden redesign with birch or hawthorn is hugely appreciated for rear amenity, wildlife habitat and to replace lost urban forest canopy to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change. Other suitable replacement species include: whitebeam, field maple, Amelanchier, hazel, Gleditsia, common pear, alder buckthorn, quince (Cydonia oblonga). Informative B: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity, provide hedgehog highway holes in any new fencing. Data via plota.co.uk
