PL/2026/04282 - Consent under Tree Preservation Orders Under Consultation

Proposal

Horse Chestnut - Removal of all epicormic growth up to 5 m is required to manage the significant reactionary growth produced following the previous substantial crown reduction. This dense, low-level epicormic growth is structurally weak, obscures stem visibility for ongoing inspection, and increases the risk of future branch failure as it develops. Clearing this material will restore safe access around the tree, improve light levels, and allow proper monitoring of the main stem and primary unions to ensure the tree’s long‑term management remains effective and defensible. This is solitary tree in the garden, so easily identifiable. Data via plota.co.uk
