PA/2026/0705 - Consent under Tree Preservation Orders Under Consultation

Proposal

T1 - Turkey Oak • Reduce lateral spread of northwest quadrant of tree canopy by 1.5- 2m (from 5.5m to 3.5-4m) over garden to reduce overhang of low branches into garden of 22B The Elms. • Remove deadwood from tree canopy. Reason: Minor works to cut back overhang over the garden to ensure a safe play area for disabled resident child. This is minor work to a small tree growing at the rear of the property. The works will not be visible from a public viewpoint, and the amenity of the wider woodland area will not be undermined. T2 - Turkey Oak • Reduce regrowth / tips of cut side stem by 3-3-5m back to previous reduction points • Reduce lower branches by 1.5-2m back to boundary line. Reason: Poor form. Works are requested to reduce risk of branch failure of regrowth from previously cut branch and to raise the crown to create reasonable clearance over sheds and outbuildings. Data via plota.co.uk
