The trees are those along the south-east boundary of Plot 35 and the south-east and north-east boundaries of Plot 37 in the eastern corner of the development. Full location details and work specifications are contained within the plan accompanying this application. Note: We are aware that some of the works proposed are to trees that are not covered by the TPO. However, for the avoidance of doubt, all proposed works are shown and specified. We are happy to meet the tree officer on site to show him the works if this would be helpful.

Please refer to our advisors report. The proposal is to retain the existing chestnut pail fence and construct a new fence with a wooden post and panel fence at 2m tall. This will be erected as close as possible to the existing boundary fence. The specification provided by the client is a contemporary style screening will be fitted along the existing rear boundary fence line. To permit the development to proceed, it will be necessary to remove some stems of H5, a privet hedge, to which the largest stem diameter was recorded at 85mm. Some minor trees below 75mm in stem diameter were on the site but not assessed. These may need to be removed as part of the development programme - none of which should have any detrimental effect. All other trees are to be retained.

Application to remove condition 4 of permission 14/0386 (variation of 13/0953 (relating to the erection of a six bedroom, two storey dwelling house with accommodation in the roof and triple garage with accommodation in the roof, entrance gates and front boundary wall following the demolition of existing dwelling and outbuildings and removal of swimming pool)) to allow for permitted development rights to be re-instated.
