Sparkford, Somerset Planning Applications

Application to carry out Tree Surgery works to no. 1 Lime Tree (T1) as shown within the Yeovil District Council (SPAR 1) 1976 Tree Preservation Order. Description of required remedial work: An overall reduction by lessening height by 6 metres and trimming width by 2.5 meters was carried out in 2017. Since the tree has now re-instated the historical crown size prior 2017 reduction. Since the reaching distance of the tree to the dwelling, it is proposed to reduce the overall radial spread back to (2017) historical pruning point with the view of reduce sail factor and deliver a remedial action in respect of proactive tree risk management. This can be achieved by removing 9 years of incremental growth therefore approx. reducing the radial and apical outline by3.5- 4 metres from the outer branch tips

Outline planning permission with all matters reserved save for access, for up to five dwellings, with an access, landscaping, and associated infrastructure.

Application to carry out Tree Surgery works to No. 4 Trees as shown within the Yeovil District Council (SPAR 1) 1976 and Somerset Council Sparkford No. 1 2026 Tree Preservation Order. T1 T2 T3 Small leaves lime ( tilia cordata) Re pollard trees by removing the epicormic and reiteration growth back near the past 2018 reductions points this will lessen the overall canopy radial spread by approx. 4 metres. All pruning cuts wont exceed approx. 65 mm in diameters and will be applied only on the new regenerative young wood, therefore the tree surgery work will trespass the young material as threshold point between parent limbs or main scaffold structure and the already established pollard heads. T 4 Overmature oak ( quercus robur)growing in the field corner, prune the lowest tips of south east branch to lift canopy by half metres to improve light factor in the garden. The removal of a little branch drop crotch cut with silky saw ( approx. diameter of cut 25-30 mm).
