Oak tree (T1) - when we moved here in 1991, this tree had been damaged, probably in the 1987 storm. The main trunk had broken and there was some growth from the side. There is now a large hole in the main trunk where it had been damaged and the branch that has now grown out is at risk of falling. See attached photograph named T1 with hole. AS you can see from the photograph, there is also a hole further down the trunk. We want to fell this tree. As there are other trees and shrubs adjacent to this tree, there is no space for a replacement tree. Sweet chestnut tree (T2) and beech tree (T3) - the branches of these two trees now extend over our garage close to the roof leading to the garage roof becoming covered in a thick layer of moss. There is also a risk of squirrels getting on to the roof from the overhanging branches. To prevent damage to the roof, we would like the lower branches of these two trees removed to provide 3 metres clearance between the branches and the garage roof. Oak tree (T4) - we would like to remove a large branch of this oak tree as it now extends over our apple and plum trees and garden leading to those trees not get enough light and restricted light in our greenhouse. The branch we want to remove is shown in the photograph named T4 with branch to be removed.

Erection of a single storey rear extension, including link to garage, and replacement crown roof over garage.

Application to seek discharge of Condition 4 (tree protected fencing) 21/0602/FFU of erection of a single storey side/rear extension following demolition of existing garage to side.

The proposal is to extend the rear of the property with a single storey extension extruding 2m from the existing building line, across the width of the property. The single storey extension is proposed to be 2m in depth and spanning the width of the northern elevation, excluding the garage area. To allow this development to proceed, there will not be a requirement to remove any trees. The project is to be built under the Certificate of Lawfulness (Permitted development) and the supporting report is to demonstrate how this can be achieved whilst maintaining the tree root system and minimizing the impact during construction.

Erection of a ground floor extension to side of existing garage and rear of dwelling; re-roofing of garage with a crown roof; conversion of rear portion of garage to living accommodation; construction of new front porch and alterations to the front elevation fenestration.
