1 Beck Farm Mews Barnoldby Le Beck Grimsby North East Lincolnshire DN37 0BH
Fell single Pine tree(part of G1) at the back of the property. Following inspection by a qualified tree surgeon, this tree has started to show signs of heaving at the roots. It is also leaning significantly towards the property. The tree is also excessively shading the garden and the top is nearly over the roof of the house. The removal of this tree will not significantly reduce the amenity value in the village as there are 8 other Pine trees in the garden. I have had advice off a tree surgeon who have told me that currently any works done to this tree will have to be done via a 'man riding device of some sort. This is due to the angle that the tree is leaning at, increasing the risk of it falling over if surgeons were to climb the tree. Currently with permission of the landowner at the rear of our property, tree surgeons could access the tree with the necessary equipment. However there are plans for housing to be built on this land, work on which has now started. Once this has been completed, I would then have to hire a crane at significant costs for any works carried out on this tree. This will even make maintenance of this tree extremely difficult to facilitate, not only due to the financial implications, but also due to limited availability of equipment and access from the front of our property. We have also been advised following an inspection, that the tree has approximately 20 years growing still to do. This will continue to encroach on to the property and its removal more difficult and dangerous for the workman undertaking the job.
