T1 - Redwood - Remove Reason: The redwood tree is potentially very large with the capacity to achieve greater than 25m in height with a substantial stem and crown radius. It is located within roughly 4m of an extension (recently granted full planning permission 20/00686/FUL) to the existing dwelling at 22 Water Lane and approximately 5m from number 24. In this respect, the tree is not well suited to its enclosed residential setting. The future relationship between the tree and the buildings is unsustainable. As the tree grows it will shade and dominate the nearby structures and in doing so cause anxiety for future occupiers. In addition, there is a possibility that the tree could harm the adjacent brick boundary wall and hard surface by direct root action and by branch ends whipping against the fabric of a building. If the tree is retained, then ongoing pruning will be required that would harm its natural form. Given its current small size, the tree has a low degree of merit as a public amenity. There are spruce and ash trees in front of it that will mitigate its loss.

Proposed 2-storey, 4 bedroom dwelling. single storey extension to an existing residential annex. The new dwelling will be joined to the existing residential annex to create one enlarged dwelling. (Replacement of application ref: 07/00647/FUL)
