Large mature oak (T30 on the TPO schedule) with branches overhanging and beginning to make contact with the properties to the north and south. The oak is showing low vigour from the branch tips, with some dieback and minimal foliage extension growth. Crown reduce by 2-3m to suitable growth points to give clearance to the adjacent properties. 2-3m in from the current crown dimensions foliage development has better vitality which indicates that the tree is entrenching to some extent and trying to manage itself at a smaller size such that allowing branches to dieback naturally, is not acceptable due to the location of the tree over a busy footpath and close proximity to property and private amenity space.

Felling of Honey Locust Tree very close (17cm) to boundary of neighbouring property: The tree has grown to a substantial height (approximately 14m) and width (approximately 8m) and is causing damage to a neighbouring property. The tree has been through a growth phase this year and the roots of the tree have pushed up and damaged disrupted the outdoor paving at 2 The Maltings, High Street, Chesterton. There is an additional potential threat to the structural integrity of 2 The Maltings with the edge of the trunk being only 2.42m away from the kitchen wall of the property - the honey locust tree canopy has increased this year and grown over the roof of 2 The Maltings - root growth from the tree is likely to further extend towards the property risking further damage. This application seeks permission to fully remove this tree. The removal of the tree has been granted under a separate planning permission relating to 29 High Street, Chesterton, Cambridge CB4 1NQ (21/00537/FUL) - however it may be some time before this development is built out, and due to the tree causing damage to the neighbouring property this application seeks to remove it as soon as possible.

The proposal is to extend the rear of the property with a single storey extension extruding 2m from the existing building line, across the width of the property. The single storey extension is proposed to be 2m in depth and spanning the width of the northern elevation, excluding the garage area. To allow this development to proceed, there will not be a requirement to remove any trees. The project is to be built under the Certificate of Lawfulness (Permitted development) and the supporting report is to demonstrate how this can be achieved whilst maintaining the tree root system and minimizing the impact during construction.

T1 Lime Tree (front garden) east side near Aldebugh Road application for tree felling of Lime Tree, Reason for works, To extend drive way and install soak away, the drive/soak away can only be installed in this location due to underground cables and sewage pipeworks in the other areas within the property. Reason for works is to enable visitors and deliveries to enter/park on property without parking on the highway causing traffic accident near misses due to a new junction supplying a new housing development opposite. Note: There have been near misses due to speeding traffic and visitors cars damaged from this matter already

Tree Survey conducted on site 10/04/2020 07.00am Duncan Dowle, Aubury Tree Services Limited, Utility and Rail Tree Sureyor. T1-(locust)- Heavily Ivy Clad Tree, signs of crown die back and lots of evidence of dead wood see pictures T1a +T1b, large lateral limb being partially supported by dangerous wall to be demolished cavities+canker present on limb see picture T1c + T1d, Bark Stripping see Picture T1e. Tree identified as proposing a hazard to Rail infrastructure and stability would be effected if development was to continue with plans to remove the dangerous walls undermining the roots which extend onto 1a the mall (BS5837)- Remove tree to ground level allowing dangerous wall to be dismantled safely T2 - (locust) - tree has heavy lean towards rail overhead lines and station platform main stem extends from base at 45? towards platform see picture T2a, irregular crown following rapid re-growth following poor previous pruning leaving weak unions see picture T2b, large cavity at base see picture T2c and large would on main stem with obvious damage to the corewood see pictures T2d. Stump is close to dangerous wall to be removed roots will be present under the wall and extending onto 1a The mall (BS5837)- Remove tree to ground level for safety T3 - (locust) crown die back and deadwood see picture T3a, irregular crown structure following previous poor pruning possibly even a previous failure or pollard, rapid re-growth with weak unions see picture T3b, main root flare visible on embankment see picture T3c tree also has heavy lean towards Rail network and platform see Picture T3d canopy extends over boundary onto 1a The mall roots will be impacted (BS5837)- remove to ground level for safety T4-(Locust) Heavy Ivy Clad, dead wood present, Irregular crown structure following poor previous pruning, Rapid re-growth with weak unions see pic T4a, close competition with T5 adding to the irregular crown see pic T4b, previous limb failure present within the Ivy on main stem.
