T/2026/0087/TPO - Works to Protected Trees Registered

Proposal

The trees are shown on the plan for Capilano Park Aughton attached to the above mentioned order (15) 2004. There are 3 lime trees identified collectively as G 2 on the plan and described separately in the order as a 'group of trees' namely 3 mature lime trees. Full details are shown in photos attached to my existing written application to fell the dead lime nearest to the boundary with 15 Capilano Park and remove a broken branch from the lime tree furthest from 15 Capilano Park. Since lodging that written application and as the season has progressed we have noticed that the 2 live lime trees furthest from 15 Capilano Park and forming part of G 2 have a number of dead branches which require removal. We seek permission to instruct a tree surgeon to remove all such dead branches. We are anxious to prevent the danger of such branches falling on to the footpath which runs close to the lime trees or into our garden. Data via plota.co.uk
