Impact Assessment & Recommendations:

T2 – Oak Tree (ID: 6202)

• Location:Neighbouring garden at 23 Eastlands Crescent, to the rear of the proposed new shed.
• Impact:The proposed shed foundation will encroach upon the Root Protection Area (RPA) of this tree.
• Recommendation:To prevent root damage, the shed base should be installed using screw piles located by hand to prevent root damage. The existing concrete base within the RPA must be removed carefully using hand tools only. Soil levels within the RPA must not be disturbed.

T1 – Horse Chestnut Tree (ID: 6201)

• Location: Neighbouring garden at 27 Woodwarde Road.
• Impact: The installation of the air source heat pump (ASHP) plant will encroach upon the Root Protection Area (RPA) of both T1 and G1. This unit is likely to be heavy.
• Recommendation: Similar to the shed foundation, screw piles are the most suitable option to support the ASHP unit, minimising disturbance to the RPA and avoiding soil compaction. Surface protection on the pathway within the RPA is also essential to prevent compaction and damage.

General Notes:

• Service Routes:All services for the shed and ASHP are to be routed above ground along the north-western boundary, adjacent to the Yew hedge.
• G1 – Wild Plum:This tree, located in the garden of No. 27, must be lifted by a maximum of 1.5 meters to accommodate the new shed.
