P1054/26/TPO - Works to Trees Covered by TPO Pending Consideration

Proposal

Fell 1x Weeping Ash of DFTPO 152 (A1) due to presence of a fungal bracket around the base of the tree which now covers half the circumference of the trunk. Significant swelling of trunk to 2.5 metres high from ground level, with ring-cracking of the bark above the swelling. Vitality in the crown of tree is poor with dead branches and a thin crown. Minimal response growth higher up, if it snaps the tree could fall onto the adjacent footpath, the road or the property. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 5

Public footpath 8 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Also on the record
National landscape 321 m away: WYE VALLEY (England); Tree preservation order 16 m away: Bigstone House Tutshill; SSSI 491 m away: River Wye SSSI; Inside the Tutshill and Sedbury built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site

Checked on 11 September 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
