DC/26/144199 - Trees in Conservation Areas Approved
Trees & landscaping

Proposal

T1 - Ash - 7-8m Crown Spread 11-12 meters in height , tree is showing signs of die back and is currently over hanging garages/gardens at rear, tree needs to be pollard to reduce weight and risk of snapping out. Please see pruning points attached. T2 (height approx 8meter) - T3 (height approx 7-8 meters) | 3-4m Crown Spread Both of these ash trees have bracket fungus growing on them and do not look healthy, they are growing next to a seated bbq area , the customer is worried about the health of the trees especially sitting under them, we are going to pollard them instead of felling both trees as this will significantly reduce the risk of any taller branches snapping out on the seated area or children playing in the garden.

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
