Submission of details to comply with condition 16 (Construction Environmental Management Plan) and 18 (Updated Badger Survey) attached to planning permission 21/0936/FFU for Erection of a two-storey, 66 bedroom care home for older people with associated parking and landscaping.

The trees are a sweet Chestnut (T1) and a beech tree (T2) on the sketch plan. Tree T1 is touching the roof of the house and if allowed to grow further could damage the roof tiles. T2 is much taller and overhangs the house. I would like to lop the offending branches off T1 and trim the overhanging branches of T2. The work proposed would reduce the volume of leaves falling into the gutters, make it more difficult for squirrels to get on the roof and then into the loft space, and would cut back the tree growth that has occurred since the last successful tree lopping application in December 20013.

Application to remove condition 4 (General Permitted Development) of planning permission 08/1056 (Erection of a two storey dwelling house with detached garage/stable following demolition of existing house and detached garage/stable.)

Lifting low canopy over the clients garden to approximately 6 metres - no branches in excess of 20 cm to be removed.

T1 - Horse Chestnut - Fell in sections to ground level and grind out the stump. At present the tree shows signs and symptoms of the disease Bleeding canker, i.e. weeping lesions on the main stem and primary scaffold limbs with a rusty appearance. Historic occluded strip wounds are present around the circumference of the main stem from ground level up to 1.5m, indicating that the disease has been established for many years. The tree also suffers with horse chestnut leaf miner, causing the leaves to prematurely wither and drop during the summer months. The surface roots on the south side of the tree are causing superficial cracks in the concrete driveway of No.1 Copelands Close leading towards the house, indicating direct damage caused by the incremental root growth of the tree's roots below the driveway. It is proposed that the tree is replaced with small native species that can help to replace the loss of amenity and canopy cover caused by the removal of this tree, such as a rowan.
