Alleyn Road, 60

Proposal:

Species and Location of Trees

T1.          A Plane tree approximately 18m in height, situated on the left-hand side boundary midway down the rear garden.  The tree is a little wide spreading and low growing.

T2.          A Cherry tree approximately 9m in height, situated on the right-hand side boundary midway down the rear garden.  The tree is encroaching into a very well-shaped Oak tree in the neighbouring garden of no.58.

T3.          An Ash tree approximately 15m in height, situated on the right-hand side boundary towards the bottom of the rear garden.  The tree is dying.

Description of Approved Works

T1.          Crown thin by 15% including the removal of any dead wood, lifting of 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.

T2.          Remove and the roots grubbed out.

T3.          Remove and the stump ground out.

Details of Replacement Required

As a condition of the removals of the above, two replacement trees are to be planted in convenient locations of the rear garden, including one specimen tree near the bottom boundary which was agreed to be an Oak tree, below are the three alternative species for consideration:

Quercus robur                   (English Oak)

Carpinus betulus              (Hornbeam)

Tilia cordata                       (Small leafed Lime)

The trees should be planted with a stem girth of between 16-18cm at 1m above ground level and at a minimum height of 3m.  The new trees are to be planted during the November 2021 and March 2022 planting season.
