ESC TPO/111/2021 Woodland behind Holly Close 1 x Oak - Trim back several small branches which overhang shed garden of No. 15 Holly Close. Reason: to avoid damage to shed etc.

G1: (4no. Corsican pine) - Fell G2: (5no. Monterey pine) - Fell G3: (1no. Corsican pine, 1no. Douglas fir, 1no. Silver birch, 1no. Scoots pine) - Fell The G2 pine are over-mature trees with significant structural defects, they have previously shed large limbs into the garden area. The southernmost tree has failed and caused substantial damage to the silver birch and Scots pine in G3. The two Monterey pine to the north of the failed tree are leaning eastwards, but do not appear to have stabilised; they are exposed to increased wind loading following the failure of the adjacent tree and should be removed. It is proposed to remove the remaining trees in G1 due to their poor condition and risk of causing substantial damage being increased following the removal of the trees to the south. Likewise it is proposed to remove the G1 Corsican pine, which are mostly suppressed, together with the Corsican pine and Douglas fir in G3. By way of replacement, it is proposed to plant 5no. oak (Quercus robur), 3no. lime (Tilia cordata), 2 no. beech (Fagus sylvatica), and 3no. Silver birch (Betula pendula)

WDC TPO 178 Rear garden 2 x Beech (T1 & T2) - Fell to ground level. Reason - Trees have been poorly reduced (see photo), side load has been left meaning all weight is now heading towards neighbouring property. The nature of the pruning cuts, considering the species means re-growth is highly unlikely. T3 Beech - Reduce and reshape by 2.5m MAX. Reason - Tree has a heavy lean over shed, will reduce wind sail and stresses on main stem.

TPO 178 - Woodland behind South Pork owned by Pine Trees Park Drive Beccles T1- Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) - Pollard to approximately 15ft to appropriate growth points. T2- Sweet Chestnut (Sativa Castanea) - Pollard to approx. 20ft to appropriate growth points. Reason: These two trees are growing from within Mr stringer's property and overhanging the boundary of both Southpork and its neighbouring property Mile End casting excessive shade over the two gardens. The sweet chestnut has shed a large limb in recent winds so residents are concerned for safety of overhanging limbs. Mr Stringer has been contacted regarding the trees and has provided written consent for the work to be undertaken.
