Proposal

Front Garden (Left Boundary) T1: Sycamore tree (located on left-hand side of driveway) – Fell to ground level, grind out stump Height of tree currently: 9m Height of tree after reduction: 0m Spread of tree currently: 6m Spread of tree after reduction: 0m Reasons for tree removal: 1. Structural Damage: The tree is causing damage to the boundary wall, leading to potential structural issues that could compromise the integrity of the surrounding area. 2. Obstruction of Traffic Signals: The tree is obstructing traffic lights, lamp posts, and road signs, which can lead to confusion and safety hazards for drivers and pedestrians. 3. Shading and Visibility: The tree is blocking natural light, causing excessive shading on the footpath and pedestrian crossing, potentially increasing the risk of accidents during low-light conditions. 4. Impeded Visibility at Roundabout: The tree is obstructing the view from the exit of a busy roundabout, which is a critical point for traffic flow and safety. Recommendation: To prevent further damage to the wall and ensure the safety of both pedestrians and drivers, it is recommended that the tree be removed as it currently poses a safety risk.
