Council decision: Application PermittedDelegated (officer decision)

Proposal

TPO SCDC/97/00106 T436, 1no. Oak (marked on submitted plan). Existing tree height 16m, lateral spread 18m Reduce whole crown by approx. 2m to rebalance the crown due to large limb drop on east side, which has left an exposed area and over extended and end loaded lateral limbs. Raise the canopy to 5m from ground level to prevent damage from agricultural vehicles, arable field on west side but best practice is to raise all sides to maintain visual amenity. Crown thin by 20% to increase light to the property, the tree has produced excessive internal epicormic growth because of light exposure after the limb drop.
