26/0565/TPOWorks to a tree with a TPOApproved

Approved on 2 September 2026

Council decision: Approved with Conditions

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

Proposal

The proposed works are to remove an ash tree affected by ash dieback. The tree is showing signs of decline and is shedding/dropping limbs, presenting a potential safety risk to people and property. Removal is therefore considered necessary to address the risk posed by the tree as its condition deteriorates. It is also proposed to remove the adjacent Leylandii, which has become excessively large and dominant. Its dense growth is restricting light and resources, preventing other vegetation from establishing and growing effectively in the surrounding area. Removal of the Leylandii will improve light levels and allow the space to be replanted or naturally regenerate. Both trees are proposed for removal on the grounds of safety, tree health and the management of the surrounding vegetation. Happy to discuss if more information or clarification is required.
