53 Ermine Street South Papworth Everard Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB23 3QA
T1 Ash - fell due to excessive shading of property (see attached plan views), low amenity value, and concern of damage to property from falling branches/limbs (or tree itself) due to proximity to property and previous and recent fallen branches. T2 Elm - fell due to excessive shading of property (see attached plan views), low amenity value, and concern of damage to property from falling branches/limbs (or tree itself) due to proximity to property. Neither T1 nor T2 is the subject of an individual TPO, nor are they located in a conservation area. Following SCDC LPA Officer consultation (previously with Ros Richardson in April 2013, and last week with John Cornell), it is understood that neither T1 nor T2 is covered by the group TPO 0009 (2004) either. This application is submitted on a precautionary basis due to the adjacency of the group TPO 0009 (2004) next door at the property Ermine House, 55 Ermine Street South, Papworth Everard, CB23 3QA. T1 comprises a multi stem (x3) trunk, and T2 comprises a fork in the trunk at low level. In addition to the excessive shading of the property (see attached plan views), both T1 and T2 have suffered previous branch and limb failures, and due to their close proximity to the gable of the property, there is concern of damage to property from falling branches/limbs, or of the trees themselves. T1 and T2 are of low amenity value and surrounded and screened from public view on three sides (east, south and west) by other more mature Ash, Elm and Field Maple trees. On the fourth side (north) is the property gable. The neighbours and property owners (Penny and David Jackson) of the adjacent property next door at Ermine House, 55 Ermine Street South, Papworth Everard, CB23 3QA have been consulted and are in full agreement with the proposed works.
