4 Percy Gardens Blandford Forum DT11 7PN

P/TRD/2024/07459Tree Dead Or DangerousApproved

Approved on 18 December 2024

Council decision: Tree Works - Reg 14 - Does not require consent

Approximate location: the centre of the postcode, not the exact property.

Proposal

T1 - Norway Maple - Fell to ground level under regulation 14 due to significant decay found around the tension side of the buttresses. The tree is leaning/weighted towards and in falling distance to two dwellings. The soil is banked up and rooting area limited. Movement in the root plate noticed by owner during recent high winds. Species does not respond well to heavy crown reduction. T2 - Beech - Crown reduction by 3-4m maintaining flowing canopy line (pruning cuts should not exceed 100mm diameter) under regulation 14. Removal of T1 will expose T2 to new wind forces resulting in potential crown failure or root heave. NB. Cobra Bracing (x2) should be inspected and readjusted where necessary following reduction.
