6 TREE APPLICATIONS
To review the latest tree applications
| 26/0762/TCA | Manorgate, 2 Manor park South | Section 211 notice:
The removal (felling) of T1 due to its current form, position, and limited scope for appropriate arboricultural management. |
| 26/0734/TCA | Red Walls, Parkfield Road | Section 211 notice:
The tree is a mature oak (T1) located at the boundary of our property (the tree trunk is actually located on the adjacent property, The Firs). We propose a lateral reduction of the canopy on the West aspect by approximately 1.5-2m, specifically targeting branches extending toward our dwelling. This work is intended to manage the tree’s encroachment toward the built structure and mitigate excessive shading of the lawn, while maintaining the natural form and aesthetic of the crown. All pruning will be carried out to BS 3998:2010 standards. |
| 26/0680/TPO | 59 Beggarmans Lane | Works to Protected Trees:
T1 – OAK (Front of Property) Remove deadwood 3cm+ in diameter throughout the crown. Low limbs that extend towards the garage and over the neighbours drive, reduce by 1.25 metres. to limit overhang and control growth. |
