Proposal
Root severance of TPO tree Oak x2 for installation of root barrier. The works are proposed to stop the influence of the tree(s) on the soil below building foundation level and provide long term stability to 2 Convent Avenue, South Kirkby, Pontefract, WF9 3NX. Granting permission will limit costs of alternative repairs. In the event of a refusal we, or our clients, will seek to secure compensation for the additional costs incurred through Section 202(e). It is the expert opinion of both the case engineer and arboriculturalist that on the balance of probabilities the supporting information demonstrates the influence of the tree. Data via plota.co.uk
