Proposal

Tree Preservation Order EL: - With respect to both of these lime trees (T29 and T30), we are applying for permission to remove epicondral growth, lift the crown to 8 meters from the ground and reduce the crown by 20%. This will increase light and visibility around both trees and reduce the risk of damage to people and property caused by deadwood which falls in windy weather. The final heights of the two trees will be maintained at height of 22 meters (T29) and 23 meters (T30). Please note that applications and for these two trees were granted consent and this application is effectively a resubmission of the same requests.T29 - Lime - Crown lift to 8m and crown reduce radial spread only by up to 2m.Final pruning wounds not to exceed 40mm diameter.T30 - Lime - Crown lift to 8m and crown reduce radial spread only by up to 2m.Final pruning wounds not to exceed 40mm diameter.

Checked on 2 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.
