26/02063/TRE - Consent for works to protected trees Pending

Proposal

Common ash (T6, within TPO 'A1') - 4m lateral crown reduction, south, to provide sufficient clearance from proposed development site property. Norway maple (T7, within TPO 'A1') - 4m lateral crown reduction, south, to provide sufficient clearance from proposed development site property. Norway maple (T8, within TPO 'A1') - 4m lateral crown reduction, south, to provide sufficient clearance from proposed development site property. Mixed species group including cherry laurel, elder, cherry plum, hazel and yew (G2, within TPO 'A1') - 4m lateral crown reduction, south, of overhanging group crowns, below and surrounding the crowns of T6 - T8. All of the above proposed pruning works are to be carried out using the smallest possible diameter cuts and will not exceed beyond the site boundary. Reason for proposed TPO works: Site development approved under appeal reference 23/00080/REF (original application 22/02285/FUL). However, four years of crown growth and discrepancies of original, approved tree survey data and tree protection plan have now resulted in significant overhang into the site, preventing construction of the approved multi-storey building. Provided photographs show overhang of first-storey of the building. (TPO 189) Data via plota.co.uk
