26/0430/TPO - Works to a tree with a TPO Approved

Proposal

T1 Sycamore - Fell Reason: The tree has historic damage, potentially fire damage, to the lower stem, resulting in exposed heartwood and associated decay. The removal of the tree is considered justified on the grounds of its declining structural condition and in the interests of safety. T2 Weeping Beech - Crown lift to 5.5m Reason: Works are proportionate to the size of the tree and will provide appropriate clearance while retaining its overall form and amenity value. T3 Oak - Crown lift to 4.5m, reduce first long lateral limb and limb adjacent to it back from the house and remove epicormic growth and water shoots. Reason: The works will reduce encroachment towards the dwelling, address concerns regarding the long lateral limbs, and improve the tree's overall form while maintaining its amenity value. T4 & T5 - Sycamore - Remove epicormic growth and water shoots. Reason: Minor maintenance works that will improve the appearance of the trees without adversely affecting their health, structure, or amenity value. Data via plota.co.uk
