Proposal:

Species and Location of Trees

T1.          A Holly tree intertwined with a large Elaeagnus shrub, both approximately 6m in height, situated midway down the right hand side boundary of the rear garden.  Both species are far too spreading across the lawn.

T2.          A multi-stemmed Acer tree approximately 10m in height, situated on the right-hand side towards the bottom of the rear garden.  The tree is a little dense and wide spreading.

T3.          A Silver Birch tree approximately12m in height is situated in the bottom right-hand corner of the rear garden.

T4.          A Eucalyptus tree approximately 20m in height, situated in the bottom left-hand corner of the rear garden.  The tree is completely covered in dense Ivy.

Description of Approved Works

T1.          Remove both species.

T2.          Crown thin by 20% including the removal of dead wood 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.

T3.          No work is necessary or approved apart from the removal of dead wood and lifting of low branches over the adjacent shed.

T4.          The Ivy is to be severed either at the base or at 2m above ground level and removed where possible.  The Eucalyptus tree should be reduced in height by 50% and re-shaped as a more compact specimen together with the removal of dead wood.  It is important to prune branches at convenient growth points where possible, rather than an all-round reduction or pollarding which is not permitted.

Details of Replacement Required

T1.          As a condition of the removal of the above, a replacement tree is to be planted nearby in the rear garden and below is the agreed specie:

Juglands regia (or variety)            (Common Walnut)

The new 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:
