REAR: ONE Oak (T1)(ht.7m)(spread.15m) FELL. Reason: neighbour complains regarding light issues, tree previously reduced, further reduction detrimental to tree, proposed fell and replace with another oak. Surrounding trees being retained include Holly, 2x Lime & Apple. All similar height and spread. The oak tree (T1) has been recently reduced in size away from the neighbouring garden (ref. 6-wk notice DC/25/140264), the neighbour is not happy with the reduction and is asking for a further reduction. The tree owner is concerned that this will damage the tree significantly and has requested a fell with replanting with a younger oak tree. Informative A: thank you for retaining the other rear trees for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce high temperatures in increasingly hot summers due to the changing climate. Informative B: huge thank you also for the proposed replacement oak tree to restore the green screen and urban forest canopy for rear amenity, wildlife and environmental benefits, suggest plant the replacement tree away from the rear boundary for a long-term sustainable position. Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
