WDC TPO 126 T1 Oak - Fell. Reason: large limb fell recently and damaged car resulting in tree being reduced as an emergency to agreed positions. Extremely close to the front of the property and since the recent loss of part of the crown and the reduction to make safe, the tree has far less amenity value and is not an asset to the property or the surrounding area. Now it is reduced it will grow vigorously from the new pruned positions and will hide the front of the house and take light from the windows.

The removal of a section of southern boundary rear garden hedging and its placement with fencing of a similar height. This section of hedging is diseased and dying. The section is up to 30ft long with a trimmed height of 10/11ft Planning consent C12/2396) dated 27 June 2012, contained obligations concerning our rear southern boundary to do with maintaining its integrity. We assume, to protect our neighbours privacy from being overlooked from the proposed balcony. In particular, it states:- 'Any trees or hedgerows removed, dying, being severely damaged or becoming seriously diseased within five years.....shall be replaced....' As this five year window has expired, our interpretation of the guidance is we could removed the diseased section and replace with new hedging or normal garden fencing, or, as the southern boundary is not our legal responsibility but our neighbours, do nothing. However, we feel this would be unsatisfactory as it would not provide our neighbour with adequate protection from being overlooked. A new hedge would take a substantial number of years to reach a suitable height and may, in any case, fail for the same reasons as the current hedge. We there propose to replace the hedge with fencing of an appropriate height. This fencing to comprise of concrete posts with timber panels. It would be up to 30ft in length and 11ft in height and would provide the neighbour with the same level of privacy as historically enjoyed.
