DC/26/143545 - Works to Trees Decided

Proposal

REAR: Escallonia hedge (H2) - approx Ht 2m REMOVE/FELL to ground level. FRONT: ONE Plum tree (Purple leafed) Ht 8.5m (T1) - FELL to ground level. REASON: Works are proposed to stop the influence of the tree(s) on the soil below building foundation level and provide long term stability at No. Estimated costs of repair to the building are �152,064.00 if the influence of the tree(s) remain and �13,358.73 if the proposed tree works are allowed to proceed. Granting permission will limit these costs. Should the tree/s remain the total cost of repairs will be the Superstructural repairs + Alternative method of repairs = �165,422.73 It is the expert opinion of both the case engineer and arboriculturalist that on the balance of probabilities the supporting information demonstrates the influence of the tree(s). Note: Further monitoring results may be submitted if these become available during the course of this application. Data via plota.co.uk
