The tree is a mature Laburnum (according the Dartmoor Tree Surgeons. It has died within the past 12 months, as is evidenced by peeling bark, and the lack of any leaf growth this year. It is situated on the our side of the fence line, between 21 (our house) and 23 Elm Grove Road. It is clearly diseased and, once removed, will be replaced with an Apricot tree which is currently on site in a large planter pot. The dead tree is shown as Tree 1 on the attached chart. It is intended to fell the tree to ground level, and let the roots rot naturally.

An arborist has identified the tree to be an Evergreen Oak. It is shown on the sketch as T1. It appears to be a fast growing tree that is taking over the small rear garden. It is situated within 1m from the rear wall of the property and is currently obscuring 80%+ light from the rear bedroom. We propose to remove the tree to address the light issue, and to ensure that given its proximity to the building that no damage is done to the structure. T2 on the plan is presenting no problem and we plan to take no action. We will commission a professional arborist to undertake the works, and have engaged their services already to advise on appropriate action.

T1 Sycamore- Fell T2 poplar -Fell

Replacement of main entrance and secondary entrance gates with new gates 2m in height

Discharge of condition for 25/1667/FUL: Condition 7 (Tree Protection Details) and Condition 6 (Bat Roosting Enhancements)

T1 Poplar , fell to ground level . Recent winds have made it lean towards neighbour`s house, with a raised root mound clearly visible at the base where it has lifted. In my opinion the risk of failure is very likely and would benefit from a speedy decision so it can be dealt with as soon as is practicable. The tree's amenity value is low as it is adjacent to a stand of much larger Poplars of which it is an offspring
