We are applying to carry out some works within W1 of the TPO in order to make use of the space as a woodland garden, make it more accessible and safe plus allowing more access to the flood defense system recently installed. Works as follows: 1. T1 Alder - Fell to ground level due to very poor condition, crown bias over highway and decay within crown. 2. G1 Hazel - Cut to form Coppice approx. 6 stumps in order to gain better access to flood defense system on southern boundary. 3. G2 Rowan - Remove 5 Rowan in order to create a vegetable patch. This is a scrub group of multi-stemmed trees, which are not significant to the group. 4. Maintain crown heights of all trees within W1 adjacent to the lane to approx. 5m from ground level. 5. All Ash within W1 are affected by Ash Dieback (approx. 25-30), the applicant would like the option to remove them where necessary if they are considered to pose a threat to the safe use of the garden area. 6. Crown lift where necessary trees within W1 to a maximum height of 2.5m from ground level for access.

There are a number of trees behind our fence line which is a public footpath at the top of number 12 Sunnybank road BB4 4PF. The public footpath is total overgrown, neglected and unusable. These trees are now so overgrown they are extensively encroaching our garden over the boundary line. Once they grow leaves back in spring they will be completely over our conservatory and garden. We have spent thousands on sorting the garden out and these trees are damaging the garden and if left much longer will damage our conservatory. They are also damaging our fence which is now so damp and rotting from the trees we will have to get a whole new fence.We would like to trim back the overhanging branches so this doesn?t happen. We do not want to cut down the trees or get rid of them we just want to trim back so they are not overhanging and ruining our garden etc. we are concerned if left this may invalidate our house insurance as you should not have a tree overhanging our property. We want to reduce the crown span of the trees to provide a clearance from our property boundary.

Approval of Details Reserved by Conditions 3 (Construction Method Statement), 4 (retaining structures, ground stability, slope stabilisation and drainage works ), 5 (fill material on site and to be imported), 7 (material samples) and 10 (boundary treatment and tree/shrub planting) pursuant to Planning Approval 2019/0409 for the Erection of Split level Dwelling, parking and landscaping

THE TREE (UNKOWN TYPE) IS IN THE MIDDLE TIER OF THE GARDEN TO 507 BURNLEY ROAD. IT IS LOCATED ON THE BORDER OF 507 AND 509 BURNLEY ROAD. THE SIZE OF THE TREE IS NOW TOWERING OVER THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING, AND THE HOUSE IS ON 3 STOREYS. THIS PROVIDES EXCESSIVE SHADING TO APPROXIMATELY 5 HOUSES, 3 ON BURNLEY ROAD AND 2 ON CRAWSHAW GRANGE. THE TREE TRUNK HAS BECOME THAT LARGE, THAT THE BOUNDARY FENCE BETWEEN 507 & 509 HAS BROKEN AND IS IN DANGER OF BREAKING GARDEN PROPERTY IN 509. FALLING LEAVES ARE CREATING NUMEROUS ISSUES ON MOST OF THESE PROPERTIES ALSO, MAINLY FROM SLIP HAZARDS AND CLOGGING THE GUTTERING OF SEVERAL HOUSES.

Minor Non-Material Amendment pursuant to approval 2018/0535: regrading of land on eastern site boundary and re-planting of trees.

Elm (T1) - the owner would like the fell the elm due to the root system causing damage to the public path as well as the metal boundary fence which is also on the highway side. She doesn't not want to be accountable for any potential public liability that may occur because of the unsettled ground. The owner will happily replant a hawthorn or elm in a more appropriate location at the front of the property. Hawthorn (T2) - crown lift to 5.2m highway side and 3m property side plus 10% thin & 10% reduction of height to retain shape and manage height for the location of where the tree is.
