Council decision: Cons. TPO rep. conds

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

Proposal

0972 Beech - fell to ground level (W9 of TPO) 0971 Beech - fell to ground level (W9 of TPO) 0986 Beech - reduce in height by approx 3m to reduce risk of failure (W9 of TPO) 0992 Beech - fell to ground level (W9 of TPO) 0993 Oak - duty of care report highlights heavy lean towards property opposite (Lilac Cottage). Suggested works are to reduce the tree in both height and spread. However, client and residents of Lilac cottage are extremely concerned and would like 0993 to be felled to ground level. All of the weight is towards Lilac Cottage indicating should the tree uproot, it would cause severe damage/destruction of property. Reduction would reduce risk of failure, however pruning wounds would be substantial and we feel approval for felling should be considered. (W9 of TPO) 0994 Beech - reduce in height by approx 3m to reduce risk of failure (W9 of TPO) 0997 Beech - reduce in height by approx 3m to reduce risk of failure (W9 0f TPO) 0976 Beech - reduce in height by approx 2m to reduce risk of failure and reduce overhang of road by approx 2.5m (W9 of TPO). Tree numbers as tagged on trees and in duty of care report. Comments/reasons for work can be found in duty of care report attached.
