Stradella Road, 65

Proposal:

Species and Location of Trees

T1.          A Laburnum tree approximately 6m in height, situated in the right-hand corner of the front garden adjacent to Stradella Road.  The tree is in poor health and condition.  

T2.          An Ash tree approximately 18m in height, situated on the right-hand side boundary midway down the rear garden.  The tree is a little dense and wide spreading.

Description of Approved Works

T1.          Remove and the roots grubbed out.

T2.          Crown thin by 20% including the removal of dead wood, lifting low branches, and necessary re-shaping.  The height and basic shape should be retained.  It is important to prune branches at convenient growth points, rather than an all-round reduction or pollarding which is not permitted.

Details of Replacement Required

As a condition of the removal of (T1) above, a replacement tree is to be planted in the same location of the front garden and below are the three alternative species for consideration:

Corylus colurna                 (Turkish Hazel)

Halesia carolina                 (Snowdrop tree)

Laburnus x vossii              (Golden Chain)

The tree should be planted during the November 2022 and March 2023 planting season with a stem girth of between 14-16cm at 1m above ground level and at a minimum height of 3m.

Status:

Approved
