Planning Application Details - BH2025/01593
Back Garden T1 - Beech Fell tree down to a 2 metre stick. Located between the main house and rear building. Tree stands approximately 19m high with a 6m crown spread The tree appears to be generally healthy, though there is potential root compression likely caused by a path laid too close to the base of the tree. Likely installed by a previous occupant. Cracks are visible along the path leading towards the rear building. While no structural damage to nearby building is evident at present, the current conditions raise a plausible risk of future subsidence. The crown is in very close proximity to the main building, which is a source of ongoing anxiety for the residents. Even with crown reduction works, clearance from the building would remain minimal. The crown also overhangs a nearby substation. Although the substation shed appears old, it is not currently in disrepair. However, the situation still holds potential risks.
