Fig Tree in the rear garden of 16 Velwell Road, close to the brick boundary wall between 16 and 18 Velwell Road. The tree is marked "T" on the attached sketch plan. The boundary of 16 Velwell Road is marked in red on the sketch. The tree is approximately 3.5m tall, with a trunk circumference of 40cm (diameter approximately 12cm). The work requested is the complete removal of the tree, leaving the stump to rot away over time. I wish to remove the tree because its close proximity to the boundary wall risks damage to the wall and its foundations. Furthermore, the tree impedes access to the upper lawn area of the garden from the lower patio area via the steps (see attached photograph), which are the only means of accessing the lawn. Removal of the tree will have little visual impact on the area. The tree is not visible from the road, and neighbouring properties have limited views of the tree due to the high walls to the north and south and the rear fence to the east.
