PA26/2154 - Works to Tree/s in Conservation Area Recommendation under review

Proposal

There are 2 separate tree cut backs requested 1. Cut back to boundary of 8 Ham Farm Road the branches that overhang the property into 6 Ham Farm Road by 2.5 metres . Reason damaging the exterior façade and glass of 6 Ham Farm Road. Tree Species, Strawberry tree and Beech tree. The overhanging branches are off shoots and multi stems from the main tree. As shown in photo provided and circled blue. 2 Prune 2 lower branches of Oak tree in 8 Ham Farm Road. This tree was previously pollarded at the application of Beechrow, due to damaging garages. It is now growing into 6 Ham Farm Road lower than previously and directly into/onto the main roof. A TPO was requested in 2014 on this tree but refused by the planning officer. The oak tree was judged by LBRuT as of limited visual amenity and in poor condition. The pruning work to the oak tree would be carried out by a qualified arborist/ tree surgeon. Discussions with the owner of 8 Ham Farm Road are needed for permission to access the property to remove two branches growing into the roof or onto the roof. No work is to be carried out in nesting season. Data via plota.co.uk
