TPO 1/02 - 12 mtr Oak tree spread across the house, 3mtrs from house with crown spread of additional 3 mtr over roof approx.

T1 - London Plane - reduce canopy height by 5m to leave a finished height of 25m. Reduce spread by 4m to leave finished spread of 20m. Raise canopy up to 5m from ground level. Extremely large tree for location. Overhanging house and garden causing excessive shading.

Application Tree T1: This is a mature eucalyptus that stands approximately 60ft high and is close to both the house and a large, very old yew hedge. If the tree were to fall, it could cause serious damage to the house and any root ball lift could irreparably damage a large section of the hedge. The main issue is that good-sized branches fall off, even in just a moderate breeze. Since moving here in 2021, several branches large enough to kill or seriously injure have dropped, most taking place outside of storms. In the last 2 weeks another large branch has fallen (see Fig.2), and we now realise that much as we seek to retain all our trees, it simply isn't safe. The tree is situated such that the branches stretch over the section of our garden directly beyond the steps leading out from our house and as such is the area we would most frequently use. However the regular fall of branches means it is not safe to use that part of the garden when it is breezy which is inconvenient. Most of the branches are high above the ground and removing the upper section of the tree would not be practicable, as it would leave a mostly bare trunk. In addition to large branches, smaller material including large parts of the bark routinely fall. We seek to fell the tree to prevent risk of injury and to ensurethat the old yew hedge is not damaged in the event it falls in a storm. We would replace the tree with a smaller flowering cherry that would not risk damage to either hedge or house should it fall. Application Tree T2: We are not sure of the exact species of this specimen tree, but since moving to Coopers Green in March 2021 it has never shown more foliage than in the photos (Fig. 3). The mostly-bare branches suggest it is dying, and being visible from the street, it is not particularly attractive. We would like to fell it and replace with a flowering tree of similar maximum size to improve the street view.

Remove overhanging branches from the willow tree in the rear garden of 8 Marshall Close shown on the attached sketch map. The tree is overhanging my neighbours garden at 173 Cheylesmore Drive and shading his apple trees. He has asked if the larger branches might be removed in line with previous work carried out prior to us owning the house. Remove overhanging lower branches on silver birch tree in the front garden of 173 Cheylesmore Drive which are now close to the roof of 8 Marshall Close. We would like to trim these branches back to ensure they are not overhanging the roof or providing a route for squirrels to enter the roofspace. My neighbour at 173 Cheylesmore Drive owns the tree but is happy for work to be carried out to his tree.

Application for the approval of details pursuant to Condition 5 (landscaping) of planning permission 21/0282/FFU [relating to the erection of a tree house and raised platforms/decks with interconnecting rope bridges, stair access, cargo net, climbing wall, and fireman's pole]

Description Oak No 5 - In the G2 area, located to the right rear of the property Description of proposed works. To crown clean removing any dead, dying, dangerous, rubbing, crossing or fused branches from the aerial canopy of the large mature Oak tree and to crown thin in order to carry out a visual inspection of the tree, removing epicormic and secondary growth throughout the aerial canopy. To carry out the work in a safe controlled manner suitable for the environment and to remove all of the arising. Reason for work. Recent change in home insurance has required inspection of tree due to it's proximity to the house. In order to sign off an inspection it has been suggested that the tree would benefit from crown thinning to allow full visibility as to the health of the canopy and tree as a whole, also to the safety of the stature of the tree.

I have an oak tree in my back garden which is located some 13 meters from the house very close to the fence between myself and my neighbour. There are two dead branches on the tree, one on my side of the fence and the other that hangs over my neighbours garden. I would like to remove both of these branches to avoid any risk of falling into my garden or my neighbours garden. In addition there is a large overhanging branch over my neighbours garden (third picture) that I would like to cut back as much as is permitted.

Application for tree felling of Silver Birch tree in rear garden of 3 Macdonald Road, Lightwater. Silver Birch tree has grown too large for the garden space with it now hanging over number 5?s house, it reaches the fence line to 3A and is almost touching our house. The roots of the tree have raised the ground with some exposed roots making it a trip hazard or it could cause serious injury should someone fall onto the exposed roots. We have a 1 year old who cannot go in the garden due to the trip hazard and falling branches, it is too dangerous for him to play in the garden. The branches on the tree often fall, some are large which are a danger to us as well as would cause damage to cars parked behind our garden fence. The branches hang over our next door neighbours house. The branches touch their roof, if a branch was to fall this would cause extensive damage to their house. The Silver Birch is in the shadow of a large Lime tree which blocks large amounts of light causing the condition of the tree to have diminished which as a result causes the branches to die and fall. Silver Birch trees are known for their high pollen count, our 1 year old son has clear signs of hayfever, often rubbing his eyes, sneezing, running and itchy nose, we have attended the doctors who have said it is likely to be hayfever however they cannot diagnose it as he is too young. It would not be fair or right to let him continue to suffer until he is old enough to be diagnosed when he clearly suffers. We are not against having a tree and would plant another tree in its place which is thinner and has no or low pollen. The type of tree that we would propose in its place is an Acer tree or Liquid Amber tree. The Silver Birch has become very dangerous and causing our son health issues so we request to remove the tree and replace it with a tree which will not be a hazard to people, to buildings as well as to reduce the allergies affecting our son.
